We had an amazing experience staying at Tia's place. The guest room was very nice and clean, and in a beautiful house. It has a very comfy bed, and a private bathroom attached to the room. Also, the location was perfect. We didn't have a car, but it was of walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants, and short inexpensive Uber rides would get you to a lot of what LA has to offer.

More importantly, Tia was an excellent host; generously helpful and communicative. The first day she let us drop our stuff until the room was ready to check in, and same thing for the check out. If you are not very familiar with LA like we were not, ask her; she gave us excellent tips on where to go and what to see.

We had a great conversation with Tia and her family around the fire place in the patio. We definitely love to stay at their place again, and would love to host them one day in Kurdistan. I highly recommend this place.
