I booked this place for a friend's family while we were on a group vacation, and I stayed next door (separate unit). I'll be repeating the review I left there, over here, for them.
Lucy's place is simply top notch. It looked recently updated, and the furniture is better than what I use in my own home. It is easy to reach Downtown LA, but away from all the noise. Super close to vibrant/up-and-coming areas like Highland Park/Eagle Rock, yet also very convenient to Pasadena and Glendale if you need some standard nicer/commercial places. Lucy was also great on making sure we had a smooth check-in and we had everything we needed. Over all, highly highly recommend this place. I will be booking here the next time I visit.
