An excellent place to stay in LA!
Great location: easy access to I-405 from which you can get to most places of interest & super close to a bunch of stores, restaurants. Basically, very convenient.
The house is stylish and minimalistic with a nice secluded garden (having breakfast outside in the morning I would forget how close I was to the interstate). Mariko allows you to use the well equipped kitchen & clothes washer. The room is great: with air conditioning, a fair amount of storage space (although I pack rather light) and a large comfortable bed. The wifi was good enough for clear video calls.
Mariko was a lovely host, happy to share stories, recommendations and fantastic tea! The house quickly began to feel like a home and I will definitely stay here again when I return to LA.
