Meriel's place feels like an oasis in the desert. The sunshine in LA can be oppressive, and shade is hard to come by, so we felt blessed to have a refuge we could turn to when the sun is high. Everything was clean, cozy, and more spacious than we imagined. There is a small garden area just outside the room where we relaxed in the evenings, and we spent our siestas inside, which in the daytime is cooler than outdoors. Internet was great, and there were a couple of cats too whom we've had the privilege of meeting. We look forward to returning here. Thanks Meriel!
