Being from the country, I did not expect that one could describe this place as a "quiet neighborhood" in LA, but the description really is accurate. The house is very clean and quite newly remodeled--such a great value. It is well stocked for simple cooking, too. It was great to have a comfortable place to stay while we visited with our family in the local area. During the week, we had no noisy neighbors, but I would recommend earplugs on the weekend (the walls are thin). I'll recommend it to our family and friends!
