Tia is a kind person, and a lovely host, with an exceptionally beautiful home. I cannot overemphasize what a great place to stay this is. If you are fortunate enough to book Tia's guest room for any amount of time, you will get: a private room and bath in an elegant and impeccably maintained, historic home. The bed is both enormous and comfortable. The bathroom is likely nicer than the one you have at home. You will have your own private entrance and can come and go as as you please. Stepping out onto the main street offers a view of the Hollywood sign and a variety of coffee shops, restaurants and stores, all within walking distance. Alternatively you can stroll down the tree lined streets, past rows of historic homes. What I'm getting at is that this isn't the typical L.A. experience.

I stayed with Tia and her family for just around two weeks. I felt comfortable and welcome during the time that I was there. Staying there gave me both space and the time I needed to focus on what I was actually staying in Los Angeles for.

In short, it's a great place, as good if not better than advertised. I would have zero reservations about recommending the space to anyone who asked. If you're lucky you might even get a home cooked vegan meal out of the exchange.
