Hi, my stay here was for a longer term. The neighborhood itself is lovely, safe, and quiet. Steve and Julie were very sweet, friendly, kind, and respected my privacy. The room is very spacious with high ceilings, a new bathroom and faucet, a good, firm bed, and other amenities. The hosts were generous with the A/C during an extremely hot summer and provided a space heater when it was cold.
With that said, it is an older, but big, charming house. The layout of this room in the home and the thinner walls and ceilings, however, can contribute to a higher noise level at times. The room is located by the entrance and stairs, below the open living room space on the second floor. The hosts’ bedroom is also right above this room. So foot traffic, music, TV, and conversations can be heard, especially when guests are over. It may not be an issue, depending on your noise preference and needs, but I do think that it’s something to be aware of, so there are no surprises. There is a smaller, AirBNB guest room upstairs, tucked in the back, so it may be quieter there.
All in all, the accommodation was reasonable for its price, especially L.A. prices, which is why I stayed there for an extended period.
