The place was great! Beautiful location, very close to the metro for a quick trip to many locations in LA. It was very private and I actually didn't meet Jim. He was at a conference when I arrive so he left a key for me for easy access. It is downstairs, under what I think is the living room so I did here some footsteps and doggy steps and some light barking. It was minimal and not bothersome and I'm someone who is sensitive to sound. The space was quiet at night. It was a nice sized room with a private bathroom/shower, closet, and refrigerator with water in it. There was also an air conditioner, luckily, because I was extremely hot in LA.
The one thing I'd warn is that there are A LOT of steps. Be prepared if you have heavily luggage. It was worth it to me but for someone who has trouble with steps it might be an issue. It also gets dark so we used our phone light to get up the stairs in the evening.
Overall, it was great. If you're looking for a private, quiet spot in a convenient location, this is it.
