We enjoyed staying at Mikey's place. It was easy to find and in safe and quiet neighborhood. We were able to use the kitchen and hang out in the living room which was a really chill spot. Mikey was really friendly and was easy to talk to when we were both home. North Hollywood is kind of far from other stuff in LA (unless you want to go to Hollywood Blvd), that was the only thing we were disappointed about, but that's obviously out of the host's control. Good value for the price though, considering how expensive LA is. Be really careful not to get any parking tickets on the street.
