Hosts were very helpful with my questions and available to answer- though I never met them. The place was ideally located a few blocks from Hollywood blvd. I felt like I was in the middle of it all. The noise from traffic was not bad at night- past midnight - but during the day it was quite noisy. This is a place to get out of during the day if you mind the noise. I was so happy with the amenities (treats, nice kitchen,washer dryer) that I didn't mind the noise at all. It was a great week getting acquainted with my new town.
