Lauren and David’s pad is perfect stay if you’re solo or a couple traveling. The house is tucked away in a cute hilly neighborhood. Felt very safe and secure as a solo traveler myself. There’s an outdoor stairway and path to a short walk through their neighborhood to reach amenities like starbucks coffee or the Whole Foods or cvs to stock your kitchen for your stay. And it’s a short drive to a TON of the cool east LA neighborhoods to explore like silver lake, echo park, and los feliz. Close to Sunset Blvd with a ton of shops, eateries and bars. And close to hiking in Griffith Park and not far from Hollywood either. Always found parking on their street. Overall good value. Would recommend if you’re looking to explore LA neighborhoods and hills as opposed to the beach which is a bit of a drive but also totally doable.
