We were so happy that we chose Vanessa's guesthouse for our weeklong visit to LA! She is a delightful, attentive, responsive host. Vanessa made sure we had everything we needed each day. The guesthouse itself is very nicely appointed and very comfortable. We were in town to deal with some taxing family business, and it was such a relief to come back each afternoon or evening to a relaxing temporary home to unwind. I especially savored the hammock and hummingbirds in the backyard :) The location of Vanessa's guesthouse is extremely convenient, near restaurants and markets and the freeway, yet on a quiet residential street that feels far away from any hubbub. On-street parking is ample, and the street felt very safe to us. We will definitely want to stay here again for our next LA visit.
