The House of York is an amazing place to stay in if you want to stay close to LA but not be directly in the city. For example, places like The Observatory, The Americana, & Amoeba Records were never more than roughly 35 minutes away and that includes moderate traffic on the freeways. The house itself was fantastic and completely met our needs throughout the duration of our stay. The house has a very cozy, simplistic, modern feel to it. The little touches such as the framed pictures of artwork that hung from the wall in the living room were highly appreciated along with the abundance of reading materials found all over the house. I would definitely recommend this house to others.
