We stayed with Susan for 3.5 months after deciding to come to LA from the east coast. While we stayed with her for that time, Susan was in communication for almost 3 months beforehand while we planned how we'd get out there, and the logistics of our stay. She was patient while we figured out how long we stayed, helpful to give us a general idea of the space/making sure additional needs were met, and overall made us much more confident in our stay, even before we arrived. The place is centrally located and on a quiet neighborhood street: we'd often take walks or go out for a run, and there is a farmer's market nearby. While the main commercial strip nearby has a bit less going on, you're close to basically everything (15 mins from DTLA, 20 mins from Santa Monica, 15 min from WeHo) if you time it right. The only thing that is worth mentioning: the parrots that occasionally show up (they hop around the palm trees in the area in the morning/evening) can be kind of loud. Overall, would definitely recommend staying here!
