I stayed here for a week with my wife and it was everything we’d hoped for. We found ourselves stuck on a very comfortable living room couch for most of the week, binge-watching TV shows and movies on a giant TV screen (there’s no cable, but there’s an AppleTV and access to HBO Max, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and other platforms). We frequently went for dips in the truly excellent pool and hot tub - in the morning, afternoon, at night; there’s also nice looking outdoor patio furniture (with fire pit!), but we didn’t make much use of it during our stay. To top it off, the master bedroom opened out to the backyard and pool, and was well-appointed with a king sized bed and double shower. We slept really well. (We planned to have friends stay in the second bedroom, but given COVID precautions and SIP rules, we obviously didn’t end up doing that. That being said, it was clean, with I believe a queen sized bed, and opened up right next to the laundry area and backyard.)
We also ate quite well. There were a lot of options for delivery in the area on Caviar and DoorDash, which we used to order from Jon & Vinny’s, Kismet, and Milk Bar. We also wanted to venture out of Mid-City for a few meals, so we drove to Boyle Heights for tacos (El Ruso 🙌 ), Chinatown for sandwiches (Angry Egret Dinette OMG 🤤), and Koreatown for the best restaurant in LA (Spoon by H ❤️). You’ll need to drive to the restaurants in these neighborhoods, but there are walkable options closer by like Leo’s Tacos, Roscoe’s, and an abundance of Ethiopian restaurants along Fairfax.
On a few days, my wife and I would go for a 5ish mile run or walk, heading north to Melrose and looping back. It’s a very flat area, with lots of houses to gawk at, but also more than a few stops at stoplights (I didn’t mind).
All in all, if you’re looking for a quiet, clean, comfortable house to veg out, swim, soak, order takeout, and generally avoid work, this place is perfect. And if you do need to work, there’s a quiet place (and extra large monitor) in the house for that too.
