Location, location, location! My daughter and I could walk to a number of places while we stayed. So if you enjoy walking a few miles at a time this will be perfect. There was a coffee pot in the house, but also a few coffee options just blocks away for a short walk. We had a rental car so having our own parking spot off the street was wonderful as parking can be a nightmare in LA. The house is in a very safe part of town and I saw police out daily driving around on the main roads (mainly looking for speeders) so there was never a concern when we went out walking during the day or at night when we slept. The house is efficiently compact but just perfect for the two of us and we were there to site-see so we weren’t there much anyway. It could comfortably hold a couple more people too. There is an outside seating area for morning coffee or just to enjoy the sun. David was communicative throughout our stay.
