Lauren was the most receptive and gracious host .. my daughter and I stayed for four nights and we had a great time in LA! Melrose Avenue is so fun, only half a block away plus we were close to Universal Studios Hollywood K town and top universities as we were on a SoCal college tour. The pool house was very quiet and serene... I got some really good sleep. Plus, I loved the bathroom, totally renovated with huge shower. I was so busy sightseeing that I didn't even have time to enjoy the great pool.. Only if there was more time, I would have taken a plunge. It was freshly cleaned and looked refreshing:) If you want to be close to the LA scene, def stay here. It's great!
