I had a wonderful stay at Katja's guest house. The place is actually bigger than what is represented in the photos, it is very cozy, it has all you need (iron, hair dryer, soap, etc..). It has a lot of natural light which was amazing! Bring a sleeping mask if you're sensitive to light. The location is just awesome, very safe neighborhood, it has a Trader Joe's one block from the house, a Starbucks nearby and a few restaurants and businesses. It takes an hour to walk to the beach, shorter of course if you have a car (I did not). I walked there a couple of times and others took an Uber or Lyft and it's very cheap. Katja was welcoming and extremely accomodating as I was arriving in LA earlier than check-in and leaving later than check-out. I highly appreciated that!
I know where I'll stay the next time I'm in LA! :)
