Balazs is a very polite, mellow guy and the living space is just as advertised. The neighborhood is quiet yet one block from Sunset, with plenty of dining options and nearby groceries. The private entrance and the ability to close off the hallway that leads to the room and bathroom allow for plenty of privacy. The room windows face the walkway to the front door and you can hear conversations there, but it is not a shared walkway and was not at all bothersome to me. Great hot water and fast internet. I hardly used the kitchen, but there was plenty of space and Balazs makes available what you need for cooking and dining. There is a nice balcony with comfortable seating. I'd have no problem staying with Balazs again.
