My friends and I stayed in Carlo's apartment for a weekend and had a great time. The apartment looks just like the photos. We were a group of 8 and everyone slept comfortably in the apartment. Smoking isn't allowed inside the house but, he has a designated smoking area out front. I personally enjoyed the location of the place. Very easy to get to the train and many restaurants and street food options. We did rent a car but we kept it parked in the driveway spot most of the time. We took the train once but if your in a time crunch you might just want to cab it. Parking is not easily available in LA. Carlos was a great host. He gave us our space but always stayed in contact in case we needed anything. Overall, it was a great stay and I will book this place again if I find myself in LA again.
