I had a wonderful experience staying at Helen's lovely house. She made me feel very welcome and right at home from the moment I arrived. She is a lovely host. The house is located in a nice, quiet neighbourhood, just far enough to be quiet, but not too far away from the less quiet parts. Which is great. There are pets at the house but they are super friendly and absolutely harmless. All in all, I would definitely go there again if I do happen to be in LA in the future.
