I really enjoyed my stay at Lisa's place. Kim, the house manager, was there to greet me and show me my bed in the room with 3 others. Since this house is run hostel-style, there are 6 bunks in a room. Having stayed in hostels before, this was nothing of a surprise. However, there was a woman in my room... with a 6 week old baby son, that looked like she had settled in for a while. Now, walking into a hostel style environment you have to be ready for anything, but I never imagined allowing a new-born child in this kind of situation. Being woken up multiple times at 4 and 5 AM to a crying baby wasn't the worst thing that could happen, but definitely not the best. That aside, the house is exactly as pictured, and definitely only a destination you'll want to go to if you have a car. Public transit being nill in LA, you'll need one. But there's plenty of street parking in the area you won't have a problem finding any. I enjoyed my stay at the house, and spent some time my last evening chatting with Kim and a few other guests. After only 2 nights, I had made some new friends and would definitely stay again on a future trip to LA!
