Mando's place is exactly what I was hoping it would be. A truly great deal and a gem of a spot in a great location. The studio is a separate home in the back of the main residencies with it's own entry through an adorable backyard filled with orange and lemon trees. The space offers privacy and with the small kitchen and amenities Mando has provided (toaster oven, hot plate, mini fridge, cookware) it's just perfect for two to relax and eat in. Personally love when a host is ultra thoughtful and Mando certainly designed his place just so. Bose speakers with ipod hook up, maps of LA and guide bookes, swiss arm knife in the draw just in case (bonus points) and dvd's to watch. Would definitely stay again!
