It was just as advertised - a simple place in a nice quiet neighborhood that is a convenient base for touring LA. I was there with my teenaged son and we had lots of space for our luggage and we grocery shopped and ate one or two meals a day there. While not fancy, it had tons of niceties - extra pillows, towels, shampoo, etc. We rented a car and had no trouble finding parking on the street in front of the house. It was extremely quiet and we slept well. Everything was clean and comfortable - we used the heater/fireplace a couple of cool mornings but didn't need to try the A/C. Communication was great.
