I stayed at Helen's place for a few days during a longer LA trip. It was a nice space with great amenities including a washer and dryer. I live in NYC so this is a luxury item to me. As a host, Helen was attentive, flexible with arrival and departure times, and very responsive. She's an incredibly generous host and brought an amazing cappuccino out to rental on my final day. I recommend her place for both short and longer term stays.
