I stayed here for over a month. Pretty good experience overall.
Pros:
-- Host has free weights in the garage he let me use.
-- Washer/dryer in unit (washer takes about an hour).
-- Bedroom is very elegant.
-- Light dimmers throughout.
Cons:
-- Pretty weak insulation: when it gets down into the 50's the place is cold and when it's in the mid 70's the place gets very warm late afternoon/evening.
-- Noise: You usually don't hear the traffic from Sunset or Crescent Heights (unless an ambulance is going by) but the guest house is very close to Laurel Canyon Blvd. which is a small street but on a slope so you definitely hear cars go by and rev their engines. Also, Gunner the old German Sheppard is a sweetheart but he has a very loud bark and starts barking about half a dozen times a day. Only once in the middle of the night and a few times in the morning. I put in a second white noise machine and sometimes used earplugs in the morning but overall, I didn't sleep much worse than anywhere else.
