This place is not terrible, but would be best suited to college students or young travelers. It wasn't ideal for my older mother. Convenient for Universal Studios and Hollywood. Very nice and fast communication with host. Main complaints were a musty smell that didn't go away, and see-through curtains (although it is raised up a bit, so no one could directly see in I don't think. Just did not feel terribly private as the courtyard is shared among a few rentals, and also did not keep out light in the morning). The heat did not work (we came during a cold week) but portable heaters were sufficient. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen sparse but had basic amenities. Parking in garage quite convenient. Difficult to find at night but the host was very helpful in locating it. Ants in bathroom and kitchen. I imagine she'll take care of that. We didn't get to use the pool because it was cold. The hot tub was ok...very chlorinated. Overall a perfectly fine three star stay, recommended most for young people or those on a budget.
