Check in was very easy. The outdoor space was very nice hangout area. Area felt safe compared to other LA locations that we've stayed at previously. You do have some outside noise for the area - nothing to bad. It was a quaint tidy house for our group of 5. The hosts didn't have a huge to do list to check out which is quite nice when you have an early morning flight to handle quick and easy requirements. It was a very good price for the quality. The best part of the house was Patrese. There were slight issues and before I even got a chance to check in with Patrese she had already checked in with me to make sure everything was going well. She then immediately went to make sure everything was in working order. She was a great hostess!
