My daughter and I were in LA for sightseeing for 4 days and Anne's place was perfect for our needs. (We were out all day long so mainly just needed a place to sleep.) The room itself is thoughtfully decorated and very cozy, the extra room is nice for overflow space (to make coffee, store luggage, get dressed, etc.), and the bathroom is clean and modern (even though the shower stall is a bit small). While there's no sofa or armchair to sit on, relax, read, etc., there is a desk and desk chair and a small patio set on the balcony. It's on a picturesque and safe street, with free street parking available right near the house, and within walking distance of a great Mexican bakery, a Starbucks, and a supermarket in a fairly run-down shopping center that still has all the basics. Check-in was effortless and Anne & Sven responded immediately when we had a small question.
