Emily's place was perfect for our group of two couples. It was close to many places downtown (5 minute Uber ride to the Central Market), but much quieter than being near the Strip. There were plenty of clean towels, sheets, and pillows for us to use for the duration of our stay. As advertised, this is not the place to be doing gourmet cooking (only minimal kitchen space), but you should be out eating the wonderful LA food while you're there anyways! We paid for the secure parking spot and were SO glad that we did. Emily answered all of our questions quickly-we would recommend her to anyone wanting a decent place to stay in LA on a budget. P.S. The view is EXACTLY as pictured--beautiful!
