Enjoyed our stay; it met all of our needs and the inside was as pictured. Note this is a remodeled attached studio/in-law room in the back of a home. Enter the front gate entrance of the home and walk through a gate on the side of the house to the back to a private entrance with lock and key.
Elizabeth provided info days in advance for contacting (I later found out) the resident of the home. I met his wife, Silvia, who was very nice and she let us in. Parking isn't dedicated, rather street with a visitors parking permit. Not very difficult to find a spot so this wasn't a problem. There are dogs at the main home and in the close neighbor in the back who bark during the day, but are quiet at night.
Located a short walk from the Vermont/Santa Monica metro stop next to LACC for easy and direct access (no transfers) to downtown LA and Hollywood. Recommend driving if visiting other parts of LA.
If you want a last minute late night bite, walk down the street toward Melrose and grab a street taco or burrito from Rikis’s Tacos! It’s cheap and open late every night.
