The rental is brand new and is very clean and in excellent shape! Nathalie was lovely - friendly and easy to communicate with, and she wants her guests to be comfortable. We stayed with our two kids and there was plenty of room for the four of us in the apartment - I really loved that the large walk-in closet made it easy to stash our bags out of the way and keep things neat. The kitchen is missing a few key items like bowls and glasses, but I know that Nathalie is still working to improve the space and will take care of things like that as time goes on. Stairs are open to the living space, not outside, so be aware of that if you're booking with kids! Street parking was never a problem for us. The street itself I'd say was just okay but the location was excellent; we were able to get to places easily while avoiding highways, which is a huge bonus! All in all a pleasant stay with a pleasant host - a great jumping off point to visit LA.
