Odile is a wonderful host for a wonderful place! She is so friendly, helpful, warm and caring. The guesthouse is very comfortable and private, with easy access through a side gate. Odile's hospitality really shone through in all the touches she prepares for guests - there are extra masks and hand sanitiser at the door, tea, coffee, and snacks in the kitchen, some toiletries in the washroom (e.g. body wash, shampoo, and conditioner in the shower; a toothpaste and toothbrush, shaving cream, deodorant, and portable hand sanitiser in a basket), and lots of thoughtful items in the closet (e.g. sewing kit, iron and ironing board, beach towels, a hand-held cooler, umbrella, and ample storage via shelves and hangers). The bed was soft and there was plenty of bedding, which came in handy as LA was quite chilly when we were there. Odile's yard is very beautiful, with flowers and fruit trees, and the sound of flowing water from a water feature near the back that lends a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere to the entire place. This was definitely an oasis of comfort and tranquility among the sights and sounds of LA. The location is convenient, in a quiet and safe neighbourhood with easy access to public transit (nearby Metro stops for bus 33, which takes you downtown in one direction and Santa Monica in the other) and lots of shops nearby (e.g. CVS, Mitsuwa, some restaurants, etc). It is also twenty minutes away from LAX so that was a stress-free ride to and from the airport. I highly recommend Odile's place to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable stay in LA, and I would definitely stay again if she has availabilities! Thank you very much again, Odile <3
