Vanessa's place is a quiet, clean, spacious and calming space. The whole place made us feel at ease and also had a beautiful, green outdoor space to sit. It is very near Universal Studios, which definitely helped keep the ride share cost low (it's an uphill walk there), and within walking distance of a few places like Starbucks. Street parking is also great and the area is really private and quiet. The only cons were quite a few ants on the kitchen counter and it was difficult to find access to outlets to plug things into, including near the bed.
On a side note (and this didn't factor in to our rating because we knew this space had no air conditioning), while we we there a heat wave hit LA. The space (indoor and outdoor) got so hot that we had to eat dinner and relax in the air conditioned car to cool down. One night it was still so hot by 2am that we couldn't sleep and my husband started to feel nauseous. It would be nice to have a space to cool down after spending a day out in the heat, so we definitely learned our no air conditioning lesson. That said, when the heat wave passed, it was still warm but tolerable temperature-wise with fans going.
