Stephanie was a great host, super communicative and responsive to our needs. The house is in a central location to many popular tourist attractions. It's also within walking distance to a drugstore and grocery store, as well as a coffee shop and many restaurants. Despite being on a busy street, the house is well insulated from sound and very secure and private.
That being said, the layout of the house is rather odd. It's long and skinny and seems as if one of the bedrooms was converted from a garage. The house overall needs a little detailing and perhaps some updating of furniture and decor. It's a strange mishmash of furniture in some of the bedrooms. There is one standalone bathroom, and the other two bathrooms are within the same bedroom---the room with a full sized bed and loft upstairs. This may be a little awkward depending on who is staying in which room. It worked fine for us.
If you plan on cooking a lot, be aware that the dishwasher is very small. It only fits dishes from one meal if the house is full. We had 7 people and we were constantly doing dishes.
Overall, I would stay here again if I needed a spot for a large group. We had a great time in LA and hope to return annually. Thanks Stephanie!
