Janet is very accommodating, and the bedroom and bath she provides guests is neat and tidy and is more than sufficient for most budget travelers. Her residence is also a short distance from the shops, restaurants and general funkiness of Silverlake/Echo Park/Los Feliz. I wouldn't recommend staying at her place without a car, though. Silverlake/Echo Park/Los Feliz will likely never be what could be considered a good walking neighborhood. Stuff is way too spread out to get around walking, and pretty much no one walks other than from their car to their immediate destination. So, if you are traveling by car and want to stay within striking distance to the action, Janet's digs will serve you well.
