After some initial confusion about the location of the room in the house we were confirmed for the room I booked for my boyfriend and myself, which was exactly as depicted, private and comfortable with a very nice private bathroom. The bed however did squeak quite a bit on its mattress stead whenever you moved. There is a backyard, separate house, and the main house, where most of the rooms her guests seem to stay in are. Sometimes people walk by the bedroom's windows that face the side walkway of the house though, so keep in mind the blinds/curtains. The house was centrally located between West Hollywood/Beverly Hills to the west, Hollywood to the north, the Mid-Wilshire district to the south where the essential LACMA museum and old Farmer's Market are located, and Hancock Park, Echo Park/Silverlake/Los Feliz to the east. All great, old neighborhoods with a lot of L.A. history and perfect for someone who's a first time visitor to not be isolated in one section as L.A. is quite sprawling and can be difficult to navigate to a newcomer. Rita is a very friendly and talkative host who's eager to make sure you enjoy your stay. She had many suggestions for restaurants and places to visit, which although I'm from the city originally and already knew of, would be great for people visiting. The pool in her backyard was a very nice amenity, perfect to come home to after going out on a hot day or tired from sitting in traffic. You will need a car or avail yourself of Uber if staying here though, as the area is not so close to the new underground subway lines. Staying for 8 nights here, Rita allowed us to cook and keep foods in her fridge, which is very convenient if you're on a bit of a budget as far as eating out goes. But there are specific kitchen hours and there is no microwave so if you have leftovers from eating out you want to warm up next day it's cookware (and then cleaning them) for you. Parking was no sweat, we could use her driveway or the street with a permit she gave. The house itself is quite quiet, during the day and at night, which is pleasant and worked well for us. Probably not for people looking to host parties or like lounging around watching TV or movies as the the set in the room has a few channels and they're generally foreign language or historical programming. I would recommend here for a short stay, and say to be communicative and not assume anything before asking. We had a nice time staying here.
