I live in L.A. and honestly needed a day away from the noisy hellscape of my neighborhood to simultaneously get some work done and do some laundry. Matthew warned me that the house next door is currently under construction but it was quite calm when I arrived. The next morning the work at the neighbors was fairly quiet and especially fine if you plan on going out for the day. It's in a cute little neighborhood not far from Japantown where you can get lots of noodles! Or if you prefer to walk, you can skip over to the Arsenal for tasty fried chicken sliders and cocktails.
The internet was speedy, the t.v. options were great for a rainy night and the shower was roomy! We had a few silly moments where the murphy bed swallowed our pillows while we watched t.v. in bed, but you can take a few from the couch and prop yourself up! It was nice to have a soft bed and pillows, unlike a lot of places I've tried. The little outdoor area where you can take your tea was a lovely treat. I managed to do several loads of laundry whilst doing work AND panicking about the impending coronavirus! I'd call that a job well done.
If I feel like I am losing my marbles and need a calm place to computer work, I will certainly return...even though I live only a few miles away. This place is accessible by public transportation...but it's L.A. and the trains barely take you anywhere. You're better off walking around and getting a by-the-minute scooter or bike rental. This place is also a short drive to the Santa Monica Pier to the west, Culver City to the south (hello, Museum of Jurassic Technology) and the Skirball & Getty museums to the north!
