This place is a hidden gem in so many ways. It's in a safe and central neighborhood, where you can park on the street or walk to shopping or even the airport. You are about 15 minutes from the ocean and Marina del Rey. The LA and airport traffic can be hectic, but the ambience at this lovely home is peaceful and relaxing. Teresa has done a wonderful job of creating a space that feels luxurious, yet homey. The modest exterior of the house is deceiving; the living area, kitchen and yard are spacious, and there are 4 guest rooms. The bedroom with a newly refurbished bathroom where I stayed, was really a master suite, with beautiful furnishings and a comfortable king bed. Everything is super clean.
The best part for me was kitchen access and my own refrigerator! The kitchen had 3 refrigerators for 4 rooms to share, so you can safely store your food and eat at the lovely dining table. Trader Joe's and several eateries are nearby, but thankfully bottled water was in my room and my refrigerator was stocked with fruit, juice, cold cereal, bread to toast, and milk. The coffee is from packets, but was very good. Or Starbuck's is a short walk/ride. Teresa's home was a great find and is a great value. I look forward to staying there any time I'm in the area.
