Kate’s place is Instagram perfect and comes equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. I was relieved to find coffee in the cabinet my first morning there, and had so many towels we never had to do laundry once. It was hard to pick which room to hang out in since they are all so picturesque and full of whimsy. We were sad that the record player needle was out of order but were able to jam with some guitars she has left out either for decoration or use (I hope the former!) The parking spot provided was convenient and easy to locate one you got the hang of the house’s set up (I recommend entering via North Flicker St. as opposed to Boulder St.) I read lots of reviews about the neighborhood being so-so but can report back that it’s not unlike NY or Philly or the inner city neighborhoods in Boston where I grew up- lots of Hispanic families who greeted us warmly every time we stepped out. The musicians directly next door were what my local friends described as “very California”. I didn’t catch the tamale woman, but there was a cool coffee shop nearby with cheap gourmet lattes and croissants- I think it was called Weird Wave Coffee- and as long as you aren’t buying your Mexican food from Taco Bell you can’t go wrong hitting up any of the local spots for tacos. There is a gentleman/family who sells Mexcian food from a small, lit cart on the corner one or two blocks away and every person from my friends to uber drivers to the musicians next door told me I absolutely HAD to try his food. Try it for me. Kate’s house is a *six dollar* (unheard of where I’m from) uber ride to Downtown LA where you’ll find lots of shopping, great food and hip breweries for a night out. For those wondering the dispensary closest to this location relocated, I went to Old American Cannabis and had an ok experience. Another positive about this place is the easy communication and access with the hosts who got back to me quickly each time I reached out. Overall a good value in a decent location with everything you need to feel at home.
