Great spot with lots of charm. Laura was an amazing host. Be prepared for some stairs but the view, the location, the ease of literally every other part of your stay will be worth it. Upstairs neighbors probably will not be any sort of disturbance as you will likely not interact with them at all and your space will feel like your own private corner but the ceiling noise of folks running around may be audible depending on how rowdy the folks up there are. So just be aware of the possibility. If you’re like me and plan to spend most of your time out and about this will probably not even be a concern. Laura’s recommendations on things nearby were great and we absolutely loved Laura taking the time to send that our way. Definitely consider this spot if you’re vacationing in the Santa Monica area.
