The apartment is located in a residential area in LA. Stores are not far, just down the road. As you go anywhere in LA by car, the street parking in front of the door is amazing! There is just a small no parking period in the afternoon, but you will be on the road at that time anyway, so it does not really matter. The apartment itself is actually bigger than we thought. Lots of room for our luggage, great shower and nice kitchen/dining room. The bed is huge and super comfortable. All in all we loved it at Edneia's place. She is such a kind host and helped us out with anything we needed. It was the perfect apartment for our short stay in LA! 2/2 traveler would come back at any time.
