We had a fantastic stay at Maiana's. The small studio had everything we needed (well stocked kitchen, which we used a lot, comfortable bed, small sofa, little office desk, spacious shower), there is even a little private patio. And Maiana is a warmhearted and helpful and hospitable person.
Location is also great and since we didn't have a car it was easy to get around by public transport. There is 200 Bus Stop right around the corner at Alvarado and there are more buses on nearby Sunset that takes you to Holloywood, Beverly Hills and further west or downtown.
