Comfy little place.

Perfect place to stay for few days away from hustle and bustle of LA. Friendly host (loved the dog Moose!) Only negative was pool was dirty (but too cold to swim anyway) and you're in the airport flight path so a bit less relaxing than I'd hoped.

Peaceful beauty

Debbie’s guesthouse was the perfect sanctuary for my time in LA. The space is exactly as advertised, warmly decorated, comfortable, clean, quiet, within a beautiful yard and neighborhood. The bed is very comfortable and there’s everything you could need for your stay. Debbie was a wonderful host, helpful and generous. I would definitely stay there again.

Quiet and peaceful

I will be staying here again. Five blocks away from my grandsons made it a perfect spot. I walked to their school, grocery store, library, and church. My grandsons especially enjoyed the pool, even though it was too cold to fully jump in – – they liked fooling around at the edge.

4 night stay

Great location. Owner was very nice. Living space was clean and comfortable. No oven or range, but had hot plate, electric wok, and toaster oven. Pool wasn't ready to use, needs service. Perhaps because the weather had just turned nice, wasn't time.

Pool was amazing. Location was great! Didn’t think owner would be using pool at same time as me. Uncomfortable! Didn’t like that we had to make contact to get the keys. Usually there is a code system or lock box. Didn’t like that you had to Jimmy the gate to get into property and that at night light didn’t come on until you were done using key. Hard to see. Said sleeps 3 but one of the “beds” was just a plain couch, not even a fold out futon. Not very comfortable for a second adult. And the worst part, came out of the shower to find water all over the floor of the house. Was from toilet issue that she had experienced before and thought was fixed. What if we had been gone? As it was, clothes, backpacks, duffle bags, etc., got soaking wet. No washing or drying machine to use. Just offered a drying rack. Had to carry out huge rug that was on main walking path that was soaked. Stained brand new shirt. Stained bottom of backpack. Spent over an hour just trying to get everything picked up and sorted out. And was day before we left so had to pack up some wet clothes. Pretty horrible experience. Kind of ruined the end of the trip. Debra was nice enough and responded pretty quickly but upsetting that she had this happen before so knew right away what happened. I didn’t. I thought it might be the refrigerator or the shower. Really was unsure. Wouldn’t have even guessed toilet. And while she was nice, her solution was less than ideal.
