Booked this place for my first vacation to LA. It is about a 20-30 minute drive to downtown LA but it is near center among other tourist spots I wanted to visit.
Keith is very quick in responding and also very welcoming. I thought it was helpful that he and his family stays next door for anything you may need during your stay.
You have full access to the entire house except for the 1 tenant and other empty bedrooms. Washer/dryer came in handy and I did not use the kitchen as much as I thought I would but looked like there was everything you may need!
