I had a smooth, enjoyable 2-night stay at Steve and Laura's place at Christmastime 2022. I never saw them, but their messages were friendly and clear. They have several little cottages in their backyard; I stayed in the one closest to the street, a cozy little studio. The location is very convenient to lots of dining options and it's easy to get to highways and other spots around L.A. --Griffith Park and Pasadena are both close by. Parking isn't always available right on their street, but I didn't have any problem finding a spot within a block. The cottage itself is pretty small but includes a full kitchen (with little gas range and fancy microwave); it's perfect for one person, or a couple as long as you don't need a lot of room to spread out. I think it's a great option for a stay in L.A.!
