This worked very well as a home base for my husband and I to explore LA, it's really centrally located and in a very lovely neighborhood. Street parking was always available out front, but we could also easily get an Uber/Lyft to dinner if we didn't want to drive. In addition, there are a few places that are a quick walk, like the brewery at 6th and La Brea and Powder Beauty Co. (a beautiful nail salon). While we could occasionally here someone upstairs, the sound wasn't a problem. The apartment was appointed with everything we needed for a week, including easy access to a washer dryer in the main house. You may want to bring a bluetooth speaker if you wish to watch or listen to something on your own device.
