I was in town attending a conference at the LA Convention Center, and this house was in the perfect location. Close enough to downtown that getting there and back was a breeze, but far enough removed that the neighborhood and the street were surprisingly quiet and peaceful.
Cooper wasn't able to meet with me himself at my exact arrival time, so he arranged for the upstairs tenant to give me the tour and the keys and answer any questions. A smooth and welcoming check-in.
The room itself was even better than I anticipated from the photos. It's a bedroom on the back yard side of the house, away from the already quiet street, with a sort of mini atrium surrounding a desk. It made working back at the room when I had to a pleasure.
I let Cooper know that I'd be coming and going on my own in the mornings and evenings for the conference, and while I was happy to meet new people, I'd most likely be keeping to myself on this trip. My privacy was respected completely. On the rare occasion I did encounter another guest/tenant, they were friendly and respectful. But for the most part, I had that little corner of the house to myself.
All in all, Cooper's communications were very quick and clear, the neighborhood is quiet, the house is gorgeous, and the room is cozy and bright.
I'll definitely be looking to book this room again the next time I'm in LA.
