I recommend this place 100%
It was nice, small and cozy. It was amazingly clean and you could smell it from the door inside. The futon was comfortable (coming from a person who has back problems) and no need to use the air con on January as it is chill enough. You save money by buying some groceries and doing your own food.
The host was amazing and communicative. He even allowed me to stay an extra day after my flight was suddenly cancelled.
I have to say that if you want something closer to LA, look at another listing under the host properties. With traffic, it’s up to 1 hr and 30 minutes so be aware of that. But that is not the host fault by any means.
Thank you for everything Henry!
