If you are the type who wants to keep up with your workout routine, this is perfect. The house is pretty much up the hill from Ventura Blvd (walking distance) and it is steep! You will not need to go to gym while you're there. So pack your jogging shoes. Glad that I did. The bus runs on Ventura very frequently with easy access to Metro so you probably don't really need a car if you're planning on staying around this area. Many stores, restaurants are right on walking distance. You'll get everything you need.
Once you get to the top of the stairs, just look around and see how gorgeous the view is. That makes this "workout" very much worthwhile.
Very easy check in and check out. The hosts were very accomodating. I didn't meet them at all in person (I was pretty busy in LA so this was fine with me) but always reachable via email/text. Comfortable bed, very nice atmosphere inside all amenities you need are pretty much there.
I'd be happy to come back.
