The house is located literally up the hills but if you have a car then you should be able to get to it. Close to Little Tokyo and the downtown area. Tourist attractions like the Gettys Museum, Griffith Observatory, and Hollywood Walk of Fame are a bit further but still accessible with a car.
If you want to be away from the noisy neighborhoods but still close enough to lively civilization then this beautiful home is perfect! I LOVE the private bathroom right next to our room (boyfriend and I). The host has his own bedroom and bathroom on the other side of the house; so it gives us more privacy. The bathroom was very clean, modern, and zen like. The host replenished us with new bath towels and hand towels (we stayed two full nights). He was very friendly and welcoming when we first arrived. He offered us water bottles stocked in the fridge. Our room actually has some travel sized toiletries and small snacks courtesy of the host. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
The back patio and side balcony are gorgeous (we didn't utilize it as much). Guests are welcome to hang around the two areas. The house also has a pool too!
We would definitely recommend this place to other people!
