Carmen’s Guest house is the perfect place if you’re looking for something long term. I stayed here for 4 months and couldn’t have been any happier. The host Carmen is a very nice lady and helpful. There was something wrong with the refrigerator in the guest house and she had it replaced the following day!
The place is cozy. Perfect size for one or two people. In my case it was just myself. The closet had plenty of space for my belonging for an extended stay. The kitchen has everything that you’ll need. Microwave, stovetop, and a medium sized fridge. Though, you may want to get a small conventional oven if you plan on baking stuff.
The WiFi speed is excellent. I do live-streaming and had no issues at all with the connection. There’s also two big desk, that you can do your work and a comfortable leather rolling chair.
Also the bed was super comfy. I believe it’s a memory foam but it’s also firm enough that it doesn’t feel like you’re sinking. Very comfortable. And also the AC is great for when there is warm days and warm nights, so you can sleep and lounge comfortably in your home.
Lastly, the outside patio area is very nice. It has a fire pit and plenty of patio chairs. No one ever really uses it, but it’s there for you to use if you may choose to. This location is in North Hollywood so IMO it’s the perfect location. Close to Hollywood, studio city, and only a 15 min drive to Sherman Oaks.
I’d definitely stay here again if I had to be in LA for a couple months. Thank you Carmen!
P.S. There’s a dinner right up the street (Tom’s Family Restaurants), it’s so good! It’s only a 2-3 minute walk from the guest house. So if you’re having a morning where you don’t feel like making dinner, just walk a few steps and you’ll have some great cooked food made for you.
