We enjoyed our stay at Ana and Edgar's place. Check in and out was easy - we had a house key for the duration of our stay. The bedroom was only lockable when we were inside. Edgar had some great tips for things to do nearby. We chose not to rent a car, so took a lot of Ubers to visit the places we were interested in as walking/transit was not convenient (Universal Studios, Griffith Observatory, Santa Monica/Venice Beach). It was easy to get an uber. There are restuarants within walking distance. The room was comfortable (king bed!) and spacious (we had 2 large suitcases), but as it was connected to one of the shared washrooms (by a locked door), there was additional noise from other guests using the washroom. They had a great self-serve breakfast spread each morning (croissants, bagels, fruit, coffee, jam/PB/nutella/cream cheese, eggs (to cook yourself)...). Though the property is located on a busy street, the backyard is quite peaceful and we weren't bothered by road noise at night (room is at the back of the house).
