This is a nice cozy place more or less central to anywhere you want to go to in LA. The neighborhood is ok, and neighbors are friendly, but it may not be everyone’s cup of tea as it may give a rougher impression. Seems like the area is being gentrified. Everything in the area closes at 8pm. But some really good places to eat nearby (5 min). 30 min in any direction gets you to most places in the city. We were pleased with the place and Hizikia/Paula are very responsive. Would definitely stay here again.
