The description is accurate. It's clean, peaceful. As noted in their posting and images, keep in mind there are stairs up to bedroom, separate from ground floor/kitchen. It's very residential. It was near the errands we needed to run while in Los Angeles. It's just what we needed- quiet. If you are looking to be near many coffee shops or restaurants in walking distance you will find few. You will have to drive. We did walked over the hill one morning to a coffee shop in Adams Hill part of Glendale.
