If you're coming to LA to go to Universal Studios, this is the place to stay because of its close proximity. It's also right off of the 101 and yet extremely quiet. The outdoor space is great and has a very relaxing vibe. The studio itself is pretty minimalist. It's easier to get take out than to try to prepare a meal in the kitchenette, but great restaurants deliver so it's no problem! Parking was totally fine. It's a small road on a hill, but there was always a space and required minimal parallel-parking abilities.
