We really enjoyed exploring LA from this base. A combination of walking and über got us around the entire city very easily. Edgar and Ana are fantastic hosts who had loads of great recommendations we would never have thought of on our own.
The room we were in might not suit a light sleeper, as you are next to the front door (the room itself though is really lovely and the bed super comfortable!).
In short, we'd highly recommend this place as your LA base camp!
