I stayed here with my college-age son and a friend of ours. The place was spacious and clean, and perfectly satisfactory for our needs. It's not particularly beautiful, there are no views to speak of, and it's on a busy street with traffic going by pretty much 24/7, but it's in a pleasant neighborhood and is much cheaper than any hotel in the area. You can easily walk to a number of restaurants and stores on Sunset or Hollywood Boulevards, and it's a good starting point for hikes in Runyon Canyon Park.

The main caveat is the parking situation. This is LA we're talking about, and I can't imagine staying here without a car. If the units are full, you will share a tandem parking spot. I had asked Denise (twice) how this was supposed to work, i.e., what do you do if you find yourself blocked and can't find (or rouse from sleep, as the case may be) the owner of the car blocking you, and never really got a response. For us, this was mainly a problem for the people we shared the space with. They kept later hours than we did, so each morning we would wake to find our car blocked, apologetically knock on their door (often four or five times, they were sound sleepers!) and have them move their car. Ideally, Denise or her manager would help the respective car owners contact each other at the outset so the process could be managed less chaotically, but we were pretty much left to handle this ourselves. Mid-way through our stay, we thought we would try to leave our car on the street to avoid the morning car-moving ritual, but to my knowledge there's no overnight on-street parking anywhere nearby.
