Katie is an incredibly welcoming and warm host. She was very kind and accommodating. My husband and I had a long stay, about 5 weeks, as we worked in LA for the summer, and she was very responsive and consistently maintained clean towels and sheets for us, and she frequently surprised us with treats, including delicious pan dulce and doughnuts. The studio is very charming, and has a usable kitchenette and nice, spacious bathroom. The neighborhood and park across the street are very cute and safe, and Whittier was very conveniently centrally located. We absolutely would recommend staying with Katie.
