Lisa and Mia were great--responded immediately to my inquiry and request to stay for a week, and met us at the door without any problems. Once the stay was concerned they were extremely prompt, responsive to emails and questions, friendly, and helpful--did all they could to make us feel welcomed and comfortable --e.g., got out extra bedding for the couch (this is a one bedroom house and my brother was with me), skin care products, toothpaste, shampoo, etc., also an iPod with cool music.

I loved the bungalow -- it had lots of homey touches--cool coffee maker, cozy, lovely decor, great bathroom, all beautifully decorated in a California bungalow style, with some Hollywood posters and many artistic touches (I even made a lot of mental notes of ideas to try).

Due to an unusual circumstance, I needed to build a wooden crate and they quickly provided a skill saw and measuring tape (this was truly above and beyond)!

I liked the neighborhood, too (No Ho is Southern Cali at its best--genuine, unpretentious and a bit funky). I had a great stay and will definitely return on my next trip. Mia and Lisa weren't just hosts--I felt that they were "real" people, and newly acquired friends!
