Being hosted by Helen felt like living with a close friend or a family member. Right from the start, she welcomes you and puts you at ease in her beautiful home. Her dogs are as sweet as they come, and you had better learn to like them!
The room is immaculately organized and maintained. Thoughtful additions (charging cord, bedside plug point, extra A/C, generous bathroom supplies) all make you realize that Helen is an amazing Superhost. Helen was even gracious enough to drop me over at Universal Studios so that I can save the parking fees; she even let me use her kitchen supplies/appliances for a quick breakfast. She also provided several pro tips on restaurants, schedules, etc. that all came to be useful.
I'd recommend this place hands-down for anyone visiting Hollywood and looking to stay with a host you can befriend. And chances are you'll make friends with any of her other guests too!
