We really liked the area as it felt very homely and close to hip restaurants,bars,local farmer's market and also a good starting point if you want to drive around LA to see sites. The lodge was exactly as described and the 3 of us could comfortably stay here . The neighbours don't like airbnb guests though and went out of their way to phone police to tow our car away when we parked next to a water hydrant without realising (even police said that these neighbours aren't friendly when we collected the car) Unfortunately we didn't have enough hot water on the 2nd last morning for 3rd person and then no hot water on the last morning and unfortunately couldn't resolve the issue before we had to leave . Overall the stay was good and will try to stay in the area again !
