Really great location and the parking was so nice. For sure you need a compact/sedan to park but given gas prices I would assume most people getting rental cars in LA would want that anyway.
Being from Texas I wasn't aware of all the city regulations and fines our host might incur should we not be energy efficient, but Shelley told us all about it and since we were there in October it wasn't a problem to turn off the Air/Lights etc. every time we left. Not sure what the rules would be say in the summer time, but you do need to turn the air off when you're not there and it takes a minute to cool back down when you return. Like I said, we're Texans so the heat in Cali isn't much of a deal for us, so we had no problem with this rule.
I will say if you are a bit clumsy or visually impaired, the set up of the bathroom might be a problem. The toilet is really close to the (really nice) shower, which is has a squared off lip you step into to enter the shower proper. Wellllllllll... If you're rushing to go potty right before you leave, or in the middle of the night being a little disoriented, you might slam your foot into the corner, like I did. I ended up breaking my toe. Which did change some of our trip plans.
Now this isn't a reflection of my stay. Shelley was great, and the place was beautiful, and it's not like Shelley can just rip up all her bathroom to rearrange the layout so the toilet isn't so close to the shower situation. I don't blame anyone, but I am saying if you or a loved one has visual impairments, or you're prone to walking yourself into things, this is a factor to be aware of. I'm still giving a 5 star review!! Obviously I enjoyed my stay.
Shelley was really sweet, and since it was my husband's birthday she left a little goodie for him as well, a little surprise. Very nice lady!
