If comfort and convenience are at the top of your priority list, then Viviana's lovely studio is exactly what you're looking for. I came back to the Sherman Oaks area for a friend's birthday weekend (I'm a LA native) and knew I wanted a place freeway-close for visiting pals, but with a serene private space when I wanted to rest and relax. Newly remodeled and beautifully decorated, this studio offered exactly that: convenience (101 freeway is 3 min away) and comfort (private, impeccably remodeled studio with separate living/sleeping areas and a full kitchen). Viviana (my host) was gracious and helpful, and responded promptly when I had questions. I really appreciated the black-out blinds, since I tended to stay out late. The Wifi worked well, the neighborhood is quiet, and although parking is on the street, I never had a problem getting a spot in front of the house. Plus, having a Trader Joe's literally steps away meant I could take advantage of that cute kitchen! Once in bed, I did notice when the heater would cycle off and on - it's mounted right above the bed - but it wasn't loud enough to wake me up once I fell asleep. Bottom line, I will definitely be back on my next trip.
