Meishan's home was as truly surprising hidden gem. Although it was a bit too hot during my stay to fully enjoy the outdoor settings, the garden, fish pond, and patio were idyllic. The room itself was cozy and serene.
Meishan was very accommodating to my very late check-in and communicative from start to finish. The postcards to send home were a nice touch too.
Even if you are hoping to spend your time in LA proper, the rental is close to the highway, and it's a quick shot downtown.
