My experience here was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Jessica is a very thoughtful and welcoming host. She made me feel comfortable immediately, inviting me to dine with her and her lovely daughter Lily on several occasions, each of which were wonderful experiences. Jessica furnished me with lots of advice for exploring LA and was easy to approach and to communicate with, either in person or by messaging. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable - Lulu, the resident cat, was a treat to share with; she is lovable and adores attention (she will want to share the bed, but this was not intrusive to me in the slightest). There are a number of toiletries paid forward from previous guests for the convenience of the current tenant, from shampoo to sunblock (I left a few items for you, too). The location was perfect for trips to Venice Beach and Santa Monica, but close enough to most places in LA for easy and cheap Uber trips. The nearby supermarkets were also extremely convenient. Jessica's room was a treat for me to call home for my stay in LA, and I want to thank her again and again for her hospitality. I would recommend it to absolutely anyone and hope to be back myself one day.
