The neighborhood was very good, close to Santa Monica Boulevard and yet peaceful in a quiet residential area. We liked the walk a couple of long blocks south in gorgeous weather to have late morning coffee at Le Pain Quotidien on Melrose and Westbourne. Trendy Urth Cafe is near, but a bit too hip for us. Parking was never a problem as there was always a space open within 100 feet of the rental. Our host, Tony, was very nice and helpful as needed. The room, accessible through the garage offered a private space off a sweet outdoor terrace. The bed was super comfortable and the shower great. There is a TV with excellent service but we are Luddites when it comes to figuring out how to operate it. We didn't have much interest in watching it anyway. Tony's two dogs are always sweethearts. They'll make themselves known on the terrace from time to time but they were never a problem. We happen to love dogs. Wifi worked great. Overall a very good place to spend comfy nights in semi privacy. Thanks, Tony!
