A friend and I were in LA for a quick weekend checking out art museums (Getty and LACMA), restaurants, cafes etc and had a great stay at Steven’s place for a night. It was super convenient for getting good dinner/drinks (Vietnamese @ Blossom - delish) and breakfast (Sunset Junction - yum) practically on the doorstep but quiet at night so didn’t need to drive to any of these places which was awesome - though could have taken a quick Uber or bus to a bunch of other places if needed. Parking was easy enough to find on the side streets. Steven gave us the rundown of his place/the neighborhood upon arrival (house rules, safe for walking at night etc) and provided some recommendations for local places to check out that we asked for and was on hand by cell in case we needed anything. Comfortable bed and great water pressure in the shower (since we drove into town from not too far away actually brought an air mattress for friend to sleep on in the living though bed perfectly big enough for two people to sleep in) - all in all, all we needed for a quick weekend away.
