Shahla is by far the most friendly and responsive host I have met. I had some problems with the Internet at the beginning of my stay, and she took the issue very seriously and dealt with it right away. The place is a cute little studio that has pretty much everything you need for a short stay: huge flat-screen TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime, fully equipped kitchen (no condiments though), like new washer and dryer (in host's house, but very easy to access), lots of space to relax with a sofa and coffee table. The location is also superb. The neighborhood feels safe and clean. There are bus lines within a few minutes of walk, on Beverly Blvd, La Brea, and so on. There's a nice coffee shop (Insomnia) and icecream shop (Milk) around the block. AND did I mention the LA Farmer's Market is just a mile away, with the lovely shopping center, the Grove, right next to it, and ALSO, the LA County Museum of Art (the one with the must-Instagram installation, "Urban Light") a block from the market? This Farmer's Market is way better than the Grand Central Market in my opinion. Oh and if you are into running and hiking, definitely check out the Runyon Canyon Park and the Griffith Observatory to the north. Fabulous views of the city and the Hollywood sign. So yes, if you are visiting LA, stay at Shahla's place =)
