My husband and I stayed at Xia and Filo's place for two nights during a vacation to Southern California. Check in was easy with them meeting us on arrival - they live in the adjoining house so are always on hand if needed. We had our own key and parking permit for the street outside. The photos make the place look a little bit larger than it is in reality but we had plenty of space and the bed was super comfy. The place was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean We didn't need to use the kitchen during our stay but it is well kitted out. The street has some beautiful big houses on it and felt very safe. Their newly adopted cat greeted us every time we entered or exited the house! There are many supermarkets and restaurants nearby. We walked a lot the first day to get a sense of our surroundings and took Ubers (which were pretty cheap!) when we needed to go further. Would definitely recommend this place for a short stay in LA.
