We love this space so much we've stayed multiple times. It's exactly as described and Michelle is a perfect host. Plus, the two dogs are verrrry sweet!!!!!!
The bed upstairs is huge and super comfortable, but so is the "L" couch downstairs. If you're "staying in," take advantage of the jumbotron-feeling TV for sure. If you're going out to nearby shopping or food, both Santa Monica Blvd or Melrose are genuinely only two blocks or so in either direction.
