Booked Engelie and Earl's place for an overnight stay passing through LA from San Diego with a friend. It was perfectly comfortable. The bed was orgasmic, we had our own bathroom, and there was a parking space available to us. I originally booked the two bedroom guesthouse for just myself but, when my friend's sleeping arrangements fell through, I modified the reservation to include her. I wasn't completely clear, though, that the second room in the pictures was completely inaccessible for solo travelers (locked from the inside of the room). It is mentioned in the listing but, the pictures and number of rooms provided can come off a little misleading. If there's a possibility you'll need the extra space, be sure to mention this to the host ASAP to try and accommodate. We were unable to use the room during our trip because of the short notice. Also, the price seems to be the same whether you use one bedroom or two.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay, though there were a few amenities that were missing. I say missing because part of several amenities were provided while others weren't. For example, there was a TV but, no remote. There was an AC remote but, no info about the unit. There were drying towels but, no face towels. There were supplies to make coffee, including a coffee machine, but no cups. Luckily, I travel with my own entertainment and extra towels, and fans were provided by the host inside of the room. I'm also not a coffee drinker lol. I noticed these things, though, and brought them to the hosts attention for future guests.
For me, this was a great place to spend the night but, a bit pricey for what we received. It's pretty bare-bones, which isn't inherently bad. I would definitely recommend this place to someone enjoying the nearby area, who has a car and wants guaranteed close-proximity parking, who is traveling alone or with their partner, who showers quickly (the hot water went pretty fast between two people) and someone who usually brings their own hygiene essentials and entertainment.
Still five stars worthy because this place will definitely get the job fine. Enjoy!
