Wonderful! My friends and I were visiting LA for the first time and wanted to be central to everything -- and central we were indeed! It was an easy drive to The Grammy Museum, Malibu, Santa Monica, Universal Studios, LAX, and The Forum.
I definitely agree with previous reviewers that it felt very much like your own home. We didn't get to utilize the outside space as it was unusually hot during our short trip and we were gone the majority of the day sight-seeing (in fact, we were usually only in the house to sleep or take a quick nap). Three of us fit perfectly in the two well-sized bedrooms, and Alison offered another mattress if we needed it (we declined, as the beds were plenty large enough).
Everything felt very safe! We walked to a couple nearby restaurants for dinner in the late evening and never felt unsure about our surroundings. A true neighbourhood surrounded by plenty of good eats! They also have a very nice homemade guide with recommendations that we definitely appreciated and took note of.
Alison also bought us a couple small snacks pre-arrival which was so kind, and aside from being welcomed and shown the ropes, we were left to our own devices. We left early in the morning and I was able to leave the keys in a safe outside, so it was very easy. Overall, a wonderful stay!
