Great location especially since my bf and I are a bicycle couple so the surrounding area was pretty bike friendly and we'd be close to a nice modest climb to Griffith Park. Erica was also very accommodating with our needs. We planned our trip around the heart of the LA area to not use our car and mostly biked and walked to places we needed to go. Also the neighborhood is very friendly and our bikes were safe, U-locked in the garage each night.
The only issue we had during our stay was the bed when one of the legs gave way after our first night stay (we noticed it was a little wobbly prior while we setting our things into the room but didn't think much of it). It only happened in the morning while we were getting up and we needed to wake up early for a bike ride anyway. We let Erica know of this and it was fixed to the best of her ability while we were away. We understand something like that can't be replaced overnight so the next night we had to be extra careful.
Aside from that we still enjoyed our stay. The house has a lot of cool things to look at and has a very strong creative vibe which I loved. My personal favorites are the canvas paintings on the walls :) Also the cat was super friendly and vocal. The first thing I noticed when coming into the house was seeing Erica's cat greeting me centered at the top of the steps when I came into the house. Will definitely keep this place in mind when visiting SoCal again in the future!
