We had a great time in LA! The apartment is refurbished but in an older building with no elevator. This is something that's not mentioned in the description and we had the challenge of 'dragging' our suitcases up the stairs in a 100 degree heat. As we've entered the apartment it was even hotter inside! I wish the air conditioning was left on but instead we were unable to stay as it was unbearable!
All in all the place is clean and in a good location. We had no problems with parking - it seemed like the neighbours we had to share the spot with were not there. I wouldn't say that major attractions are walking distance - unless you are comfortable walking 30 minutes up to an hour in a 100 degree heat and have a lot of spare time just walking to places. In LA you definitely need a car!
