We really enjoyed staying at Atty and Em's place. The apt was very comfortable and clean. Evevything in the space worked well and the nicely manicured backyard space was a bonus. It was perfect for us.
The space is a private studio apartment on the back portion of their lot above their garage -which wasn't used during our our stay of about a week. Both Atty and Em were very responsive...they were also nice enough to accommodate a late arrival as well as departure and would check in periodically via messaging to make sure all was ok which we appreciated.
Near the apt there's a small shop a couple of blocks away (3 min walk per google maps) for things like eggs, milk etc. A 15 min walk way or 2-3 min drive is Glendale Ave which is a great commercial strip in the nabe..it has Proof Bakery, a farmers market on Sundays, a great breakfast Burrito spot called Tacos Villa Corona and even upscale eateries like the recently opened Journeyman from some of the Gjelina folks. Also a ten minute walk away (per google maps again) are Salazar (a great mexican place and next door Zebulon (a newish brooklyn import that has live music).
Overall this is a great location to stay if your interested in exploring the Northeast and Downtown LA corridor.
We would definitely stay here again and are happy we got a chance to meet Atty, Em and their adorable 8 mos old as they were lovely folks.
