This is a great deal for a simple, tidy, minimalist room in a house! It’s in a desireable neighborhood (a quick walking distance to Sunset Blvd., a very central part of the hip Echo Park neighborhood in L.A.), so the proximity to cool bars, restaurants, vintage shopping, etc. is handy, yet the residential street that the house itself is on is very quiet and calm.
Your mileage may vary, but I actually had minimal interaction with the hosts — we tended to be out of the house at different times — so it honestly felt partially like a private stay for me. The massive, full-sized “guest” refrigerator (which is in the living room, not the kitchen) is so useful for travelers like me who actually like to cook a little on some days rather than just CONSTANTLY eating at restaurants. As a nutritionist (and a personal health nut), I went bonkers at the amazing Lassens Natural Foods grocery store just a couple blocks away, and walked there almost daily. The bedroom itself is very basic, but clean and efficient.
Be advised that they do also AirBnb at least one other room in the same house, so if that’s happens to be booked at the same time, there might be another guest there. (Again, I didn’t actually see that person either during my stay.)
Would stay here again!
