Lori’s house was a convenient crash pad for our 24 hour trip to LA for a concert at the Kia Forum. It’s about a 15 minute walk and it felt safe to do at night even after the show around 10PM. The walk is a long slightly uphill slope on the way back, not too strenuous but noticeable and may be challenging for children or people with injuries or disabilities.
The parking behind the house is a fairly steep and tight entrance with a gravel drive way. It’s possible to get in but it felt sketchy even in our compact Kia Niro rental car. The gravel also requires solid footing to walk on, one of us slipped towards the end of the driveway when trying to guide the other in. All in all we were glad to have it, but I only felt confident parking there because I drive a box truck for work every day.
The bed is comfortable and the room is set up nicely. The bathroom is a little small but it’s got a toilet and sink so can’t complain. The shower is separate and doesn’t have a door closing it off from the main space in the room. We didn’t use it but it looked nice enough.
The door to the bedroom sticks on the bottom and can be hard to open, you just have to push. It’s sort of loud but no one complained.
The outdoor space is nice and feels very private even though there are neighbors close by.
Definitely a good value for the money especially if attending a show at the Forum or SoFi. We were so glad not to be stuck in parking lot traffic after the concert.
