Farhad makes it very easy to find his place and check in, even if he's not on location. He was incredibly friendly over the phone. The backyard is a little overgrown, or at least it was when I was there, but the guest house is clean and secure. He even had a space heater in there for those chilly LA nights. The only drawback is you kind of have to wrestle with the gate to gain access to the backyard and the guesthouse, but Farhad will talk you through that to. It was easy to find parking, the wireless internet was pretty darn strong and this place is super convenient to Venice beach.
