I can’t say enough good things about Christie’s place. My brother and I recently spent a month there and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect this backyard get-a-way. It is private, clean, spacious, comfortable, with all the modern amenities, including an induction stove top and a washer and dryer. The backyard, which you may use, is lovely, the private patio sunny and warm. It is conveniently located near public transportation and is walkable to grocery stores, restaurants etc. You really do not need a car to explore Los Angeles.
Our host, Christie, was friendly and helpful. And her dog, Homer (a little cocker spaniel), Is adorable. He loves to play fetch with his tennis ball, and is happy to come calling at your door if you’re inclined to let him in. We absolutely plan to stay there again the next time we want a winter escape!
