Sandra's place had everything we need, the kitchen was especially well stocked with many spices and condiments. It was bright, clean, well-appointed. Note that other than the main bedroom, the other 2 are all bunk bed situations. We were 3 adults and didn't mind, but if you're travelling with lots of kids it would be perfect. The location overall is convenient (as can be for LA), just outside downtown and about 20 min from Hollywood, parking is right outside, and the front yard is very nicely landscaped. The street the house is on is quiet at night - although there was an incident right outside the first 2 nights, we let Sandra know but it's really out of her control, my advice is to bring earplugs regardless. We visited in Nov when it was unseasonably cold, the house has no heating and insulation. It got down to under 60 inside and we had to wear jackets indoors. Sandra was nice enough to drop off a portable heater, and I think the weather was unusual but LA does get cold!
