What a find this place is! Chris and Jani's Guesthouse is perfect for both first-time visitors and frequent fliers to Los Angeles. My partner and I are from the Bay Area and while we have been to Los Angeles before, we do not consider it a familiar place. We wanted to find a location that would feel like a home away from home and this was it! You are literally in a separate building from the host's home which provides for privacy and a separate entrance. Chris and Jani are wonderful hosts full of laughter, welcome, and a genuine love for hosting. They are as involved as you would like them to be. We came after midnight which they were totally fine with. Street parking was easy even at that late hour and we had instructions to enter our home with no problems. We found a personalized written note welcoming us to the Guesthouse/Los Angeles on our bed- which was such a nice and personal touch. Bottled water and candy was waiting for us as well.

The next day, we wanted to take advantage of Chris and Jani's local expertise and met up with them to chat about recommendations. They were readily available and happy to help. The two of them are BIG FOODIES and we were able to take their recommendations and literally go on a food tour of the city. Amazing. Their location was also within 15 minutes or so of Universal Studios so we ended up at Harry Potter World simply out of convenience. After a long and full day, we were able to come back to this home, take a hot shower (all amenities and towels provided), and sleep soundly.

We were sad to leave but will surely be back. This is our go-to place for Los Angeles travel now.
