We had a great stay at Sarah and Ned's guesthouse. It is a clean, comfortable and quiet little house with direct access to the yard, plenty of street parking and an electronic gate which, when closed prevents access to the street. They have two kids so there are toys around, and they generously lent us some additional books and things for our little boy. This is a great place to stay w kids!

Also the neighbourhood is really nice - it's quiet and low-key, and there are amenities close by (a decent coffee joint, Paper or Plastik is a 10 minute walk, and the Farmers Market and Whole Foods are a 10 minute drive). And generally it is very central which makes travelling around LA a little easier!
