Rented this place on a last minute solo trip to LA. Pluses are that this place is near my good friend's neighborhood and during the day I actually walked to his apartment, grocery store, and In & Out. Matko is super friendly and very flexible about check in times. I wanted a bit of privacy and he was good about that. The home itself is attached to his home. Its cute and set up like a flat. There is a mini kitchen with stove a you can easily cook breakfast or lunch there. The neighborhood is quiet and seems very safe and I came back pretty late several nights from hanging out with my friends and exploring the city. My only complaint is that the front door is made entirely of glass and if you want to lounge around in bed when people pass by they can see. Since I was traveling as a single female I wish the door had a curtain or something else to cover it and I wish it had a deadbolt to lock from inside. But overall a great place located in Sherman Oaks and def wouldn't mind staying there again.
