I had a great stay at Mike's backyard cabin. Perfect for a solo business traveler or couple. It's one large wood-paneled room plus a bathroom. Bed is huge and comfortable. There's a big table/desk that's excellent for getting work done, and the wifi was solid and speedy.
Neighborhood is residential, but it's just a few minutes bike ride to downtown Culver City, and 10 minutes by bike to the Palms Station of the Expo Line train. It is without a doubt the quietest place I have stayed in Los Angeles, and it's nice and dark at night when you want to sleep. The shared yard is also very pleasant. Mike was friendly and responded rapidly to my inquiries. Recommend without reservation.
