I was in town briefly attending a conference at a downtown hotel. I wanted to stay somewhere away from the conference that was quiet, where I could go for walks or just relax after day of conference sessions, but was still easy to get to and from downtown. Lauren and David's place was ideal! Checking in and out is super easy and they are very welcoming and make it easy to reach them, if needed . The apartment is roomy and so comfortable. It was a great place to come back to at the end of the day. I didn't find the sounds from upstairs intrusive or bothersome at all. In fact, it was very quiet into the evening and when I was awake in the morning. The walk to and from the nearby Whole Foods was easy and a pleasant walk through the neighborhood. It seemed to me to be a much shorter walk than what the map app predicted. There was also a bus stop nearby and I took the bus back one day which was my way of seeing the area. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay here again the next time I visit LA.
