Terrific experience. Apartment is just as described, modern and nicely remodeled. Good central location if you need/want to do things in various parts of the city. Hosts walk the fine line of being warm and friendly but not intrusive. They also provide a lot of specific, written information about nearby eateries, attractions, etc. Having lived in L.A. before, I didn't really need this but it could prove invaluable to first-time or infrequent visitors. Bed, bathroom, kitchenette (small but useful) all very good. The turntable and collection of vinyl albums was a nice bonus, especially if you like jazz or pop vocalists (I listened to the likes of Sam Cooke, Mose Allison, Lena Horne, Marvin Gaye and Laura Nyro). You will hear a little noise from upstairs and maybe a little barking from their two little dogs (who, by the way, are sweet and adorable), but not a big issue. Last but not least, the price was very reasonable (you couldn't come close to as nice an experience at a hotel in L.A. for that cost), so a big "thumbs up" from me and thanks for the hospitality.
