It was fabulous staying at Nikolais' place. He was a super host and was very quick to get back to us about recommendations and also allowed us to use his own washing machine and dryer on more than one occasion which was really kind. The only downside of this place is the noise from the road but its in the distance and can only be heard when outside - and I think this is quite normal for LA. I would highly recommend it and would love to come back and stay in if in LA again. The location is great if you like hipster hangouts too - amazing bars and restaurants within 10 mins and super close to Downtown. Also easy parking made it stress free.
