If you're comfortable with apartment living and the noises of having an upstairs neighbor, then this place will do you just fine. I haven't lived in an apartment for decades. I could hear the host's tv, every footstep and every cabinet, door and flush. Also, the fish pond outside the apartment was filling in the morning and the rush of water through the pipes was super loud. Again, if you want absolute quiet, or the opportunity to sleep in, keep looking. Other than that, the location worked for us and compared to typical L.A. lodging prices, this was affordable. Beware the very irritable neighbor who clearly isn't happy about suffering an Airbnb next door. She barked quite aggressively as I unloaded our car before parking.
