I stayed at the Little Villa for a month while in LA for a job. This was the perfect little pad to experience LA from.

First on the host: Phoebe was great. She was responsive, helpful and even saved me from getting a parking ticket one morning when I forgot that it was a street cleaning day. Great host.

The apartment is cozy, lovely and has plenty of closets and storage if you're doing a longer stay like I did. I saw on earlier reviews some comments about noise - no it's not insulated that well but I didn't find that the people who live there are that noisy so I was never bothered by the noise in the month I was there. There's plenty of parking on the street, good kitchen if you're planning to whip up your own meals and the view is beautiful. The neighborhood was great - charming little cafes are within walking distance and scored some seriously great vintage finds at the shops in the neighborhood. Overall, I had a great experience there.
