I love this place and am hesitant to let the cat out of the bag for fear it won't be available the next time I need it. That said I have stayed here twice, once for several months while I was in town working, so I really got to know it well. Freshly renovated top to bottom, zen, airy, clean and well appointed. Very well done kitchen with new stainless appliances including dishwasher and washer/dryer. Lovely tiled bathroom with great shower/tub, oversized shower head and great pressure. Airy, spacious bedroom with comfy queen, walk in closet and french doors opening to patio. Great living room has big screen, gas fireplace and also opens onto patio through large double doors. Patio is ultra private and walled in and feels very Japanese. Comfy furniture, fountain (very soothing), grill and excellent shade all make it feel like an extension of the interior space. Really lovely all around - clean and simple with a Spanish/Japanese combo vibe and it sits at the end of a lovely flower lined walkway on a plot with 6 or so similar bungalows. Daniel has really done wonderful rehab on the place and I loved having it as a home base.
There's a parking spot in a shared dirt lot that takes a bit of practice to master backing into but it beats the hell out of street parking. It gets the car a bit dusty but Daniel assured me that he's planning on putting down gravel to solve that issue.
The area is very convenient for commuting - right off the 101 at Santa Monica with Central Hollywood, Los Feliz, K-Town and Paramount all within a 5 minute drive. The neighborhood is working class, mostly Spanish speaking and pleasant. There's a few restaurants and such withing walking distance but you'll likely want to take a short drive for eats and the like.
Daniel was a super responsive host and anything I needed was taken care of in a very short period of time with a smile. I actually got to know Daniel pretty well because I was in need of a personal trainer while was in town and I ended up doing a bunch of sessions with him which were great. He's a good guy. Highly recommend the space and the host.
