I visit LA a lot and this time I needed to be close to family for an early morning departure and Mike's place really fit the bill. The cozy guest house is indeed cozy, one large room with a desk and office chair, coffee maker and a very comfortable bed! I think it was a queen but felt so large that it could have been a king bed.
The guest house could be thought of more like a cabin in the city. It is very quaint and rustic on the inside, nicely finished in knotty pine and exposed beams. The cabin charm continues outsides with a nice porch seating area overlooking the rear of the house in front. Parking was easy to find and the location appeared close to places to eat and drink at.
It's been a bit hot in LA these days so the tower fan was nice to have but a ceiling fan would have been a welcome addition, however, the low ceilings may not allow for one but it would surely help move the air around. Wi-Fi wasn't very strong causing my Netflix connection to cut out so I switched to downloaded videos instead and struggled to get cell reception to read email on my phone.
Overall, Mike's Cozy Guest House was a very central place to stay for a night. It would be a great place to stay when the weather is a bit cooler at night. If you want to feel like you are far away while still being in the city, this is the place you want to be.
