Lauren's home is in a very safe neighborhood with convenient food places, coffee shops and convenience stores nearby. The backyard with pool is a lovely little oasis away from the bustle of LA and I enjoyed hanging out there in my spare time. The room smallish but is very quiet at night and the bed comfortable. Also was great to have a small half-bath to yourself. Lauren's friends who were visiting were very cool and if you are creatively inclined you will enjoy the vibe here. Also, Lauren's dog Marley is a sweetheart and got along great with me and my dog.
