Rick's place was great! It was near the areas we would like to get to and it wasn't far at all, we rented a vehicle and was able to park 2 vehicles outside. During the time of this review, the street cleaning was Friday from 12 noon - 3 PM so if you are checking in a little early, be aware of the reason why there may be lots of parking spots.
The place had a good amount of amenities, Rick provided a few, the house is huge and it does the trick, the neighborhood is very quiet. When entering the foyer, you'll find the kitchen directly to your right and the living room to the left. Walk back further down the hall on your left is the first room and between the laundry machine you'll see two half restrooms, beyond the laundry machine room on your right is a room on your right with its' dedicated restroom. Moving to the upper level, you have four rooms, three with their own restrooms and one with an external restroom.
Rick was a great host, large house, during a warm LA day, the house was nice and cool.
