This was a great location for a long-term (4 weeks in my case) stay. People who want a luxury hotel experience need to go to luxury hotels. That wasn't what I wanted. This felt like what it is - a basement apartment in a residence that is in a cool neighborhood. It's quiet but with good interstate access and nearby coffee shops and dining. Having dedicated garage parking and access to the house's outside laundry facilities were a couple of perks that are not common to many options in the LA area. I'm really glad that I stayed here. It was an opportunity to know a neighborhood that hadn't been in my numerous other LA experiences and DeAnn lives upstairs, so if her attention is needed, she's very nearby but doesn't intrude unless requested.
