Kathie is a genuine host, very friendly at check in, yet lets you be in your stylish spot upstairs and very private. I stayed a week for work and when I was bored i walked downstairs a few times and had some awesome conversations. had to check myself at times, because I had things I had to do, but she was always fun and very friendly. Everything was clean and I felt at home. Parking was a little rough, yet in LA this sort of thing is standard, just read signs and maybe have to walk 2 minutes, if you're unlucky or show up late. If your in the area, and need a good value, look no further, Kathie place is it.
