Rita provides a warm welcome, is full of energy and a kind and generous host. LA can be tricky to a new comer or solo traveller and Rita has great suggestions and will help where possible. The house is immaculate as is this room and bathroom. The bed is very comfortable and a great shower. The pool is a real treat in the heat of LA and guests may use it. As always its best to check house rules on use of kitchen and pool before assuming anything and keep noise levels low for everyone's benefit. Location wise it's a lovely residential street with cafes a stones throw away on Melrose. Bear in mind LA is more spread out than maps suggest so signing up for uber app for car rides works well. Its about $5-$10 by uber to the main places on that side of town i.e. The grove/farmers market, third ave, Beverly hills/rodeo drive etc. Better value than a hotel any day.
