The neighborhood seems a bit older but we felt safe. The parking was adequate for smaller vehicles but be a tight fit for larger ones. The lock box worked fine. The place is cozy but worked fine for 4 people. There is dishwasher or garbage disposal in kitchen. The microwave, frig and oven work fine. The two issues I had with the place were that blackout curtains didn't cover the entire window so bright lights from parking area shown in windows at night and they have plumbing issues so they ask that used toilet paper be thrown in garbage, not down the toilet. It was located super close to the freeway and within proximity of LA attractions. The host, Maria, was very responsive when we had a couple of small things come up. The price good but I don't think I'd stay there again.
