This was a lovely and suprisingly private urban oasis. We stayed here for a week and it was a great place from which to explore the city (we had a car) and come back to such a green and lush garden area, a shaded porch and a nice home. Our son had his own little cabin aside from the house which he thought was fantastic. Nicole was very communicative and helpful during her stay. Even though she was far away she managed to assist us with a medical issue and solved a problem with the house within a few hours after it occurred. Shops and restaurants and nice places to hang out all nearby. I would definitely recommend this place to any nice person or family. And what was so surprising: the relative quietness at night. I did not expect this at all, LA being such a bustling city full of traffic!!
The stairs (featured in the art house film Echo Park) were noy a porblem to us at all.
All in all a great stay for us.
