Amber is without question the friendliest AirBnB host I've ever encountered...almost like a relative you don't get to see enough. I felt instantly at home in Amber's apartment and quickly adapted to her North Hollywood location. Sherman Way is a main drag, so if you are sensitive to traffic noise you might think about that. It's also near the Hollywood/Burbank Airport, but I found the plane noise to be minimal. Street parking was only a challenge at certain times of day, at worst I had to park about a block up from the apartment, but it's a very safe, working class neighborhood so not an issue. The apartment is a short drive to The Hollywood Freeway (170) and a slightly longer one to the 405, so it's a great location for moving around LA. If you are willing to sacrifice a little privacy, Amber offers a great value crashing at her place!
