After looking at the pictures of this house and reading the reviews, we decided to rent the house, but things were not as they seemed. When we arrived after a 5-hour drive, we tried our code for entry, but it was unsuccessful. A woman was out front and asked me for my code; she did not even introduce herself, and I found it odd for someone to ask what our code was. I asked her who she was, and she said, "I am Alma" come to find out, she is the owner who lives in the back house, and her daughter is Wendy, who was watching us from the street in her car. Alma tried the code and was unsuccessful, so Wendy got down and had to change the code. After 15-20 minutes, we finally got access to the house. Also, during our stay, the house was not very clean; it had a stench and made our stay uncomfortable.
If you want privacy, be aware that the owners live in the back house of this home and tend to come out and do things in front of the home while you are there.
**PARKING- Horrible. There is only street parking, and good luck with that.
One plus side is that it is close to all attractions in LA.
