Atwater Village is the anti-LA, in a good way - great tree-lined streets, cute & historic homes and walkable access to stores, bakeries, and restaurants. I commuted to Hollywood and had an easy commute since I could avoid all freeways getting into “town.”
The space is thoughtfully small; the washer/dryer is a really helpful bonus and the streets have plentiful parking (even on street cleaning mornings). I like the landscaping (mini water fountain) that successfully replaced the white-noise maker on my phone at night :)
Jeff was incredibly responsive and I’m hoping to stay at his home again on my next extended LA visit.
