Boyfriend and I stayed here to apartment hunt in LA. This place would be hard to stay in if you didn't have a car, meaning going to get coffee by foot would be quite a walk since the house is on top of a steep hill, but luckily we had a car and the area is a great 'central' area without having to be in the center of downtown.
Street parking was no problem! We always found parking at any time right in front of the bnb. Viviana's place is a great value at the price because you get a private place and a kitchen! The bathroom is clean and the shower was great. The only uncomfortable thing was the unfinished floors. I wish the floors were done the same way the bathroom was done because the cement with odd rugs thrown over the floor made it feel uncomfortable and dirty even if the place was cleaned. Sometimes my feet would pick up on gravel bits? The pictures are also very accurate. What you see is exactly what you get. The cats that hang out by the place were cute and friendly. The one thing I didn't expect was how audible the noise from upstairs would be. Every tiny footstep taken upstairs seemed to be amplified. We were out most of the day so it wasn't a problem - just at night as everyone's getting ready to go to bed, it would be hard to ignore. But other than that Viviana's place was comfortable to stay at and if you want a kitchen, I'd say it's a good value.
