Karleen is a great host and her house has everything you need to have a great self catering stay in LA. The Koniq coffee machine was great and I had a wide choice of options for the machine from the local large Ralph's food store.
Some tips for travellers. This is a quiet and safe area. Plenty of quick food / diner outlets. For restaurant choices with table survive and alcoholic beverages, you need to go slightly further afield to downtown, hollywood or beach areas.
Transport is easy by car. The house is close to the freeway 10 where it's easy to navigate to Venice and santa Monica.
This will be my first choice of a place to stay in the future.
