"The Abode" is just as pictured - a little peaceful oasis centrally located in LA. The host Evet responds very quickly. There were nice touches - like a glass jar of fresh water. The shower-amazing. Better than any 5 star hotel shower. Direct TV with lots of channels. Cool breezes & sunny patio days. I get what everyone is saying about her dogs - seriously so well mannered & cute to see around every once in awhile. Very friendly. Highly recommend & would stay again.
