Michael and Sharon's place was exactly how it looked in the pictures! It felt pretty private - I only saw them once or twice when I was leaving. The space was perfect for 1 or 2 people who plan to be out and about a lot, and there was a little sitting area if you do want to hang out at the apartment. It was clean, there was AC, there was a TV and internet that worked well. they provided water and instant coffee and extra towels. They were so nice and flexible when my check in and check out plans changed. I don't know much about LA so I can't speak to the location too much but the neighborhood was gorgeous and smelled amazing! And it was just a short walk to west 3rd street which had some great cafes and restaurants.
