The place was as described - good size & close to quite a few things (Griffith Park, Hollywood Blvd and not a bad drive away from the coast (about 35-40min drive).
The only thing I will say is that the parking that's available is tandem parking. There were other guests staying in the place right next to us and we had to be concious of blocking eachother's cars in. Luckily, Joshua was incredibly nice about moving our rental for us when the other occupants were blocked in and vice-versa.
Joshua does have dogs that sometimes roam around the yard, so if you're not too into dogs that's something to think about. But we didn't have much interaction with them at all - so it wasn't a problem for us.
Overall, good price, location, and hospitality.
