This is an ideal place to launch your LA visit. Highland Park has good restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops and I was able to easily walk to the 'downtown' of Highland Park from here (about 20 min) when I wasn't out and about by car with my son. It also has easy access to freeways to get all over LA. The little house was very comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen, coffee, comfy bed, and outdoor areas for sitting or eating...and even snacks courtesy of Nichola. Nichola was a great host - she responded to my online questions quickly and she was friendly and helpful when I met her in person after check-in. I highly recommend this for your stay in LA.
