You should book this place. The interior is so nice and stylish. Very clean-no random strands of hair in the bathroom or bed, like some places tend to have. There is a remote controlled AC unit on the wall above the bed that kept the place very cool. The shower was amazing!!! Full kitchen and fridge in case you need to cook.
I came for a party in downtown LA and it was the perfect location. About 15-20 minutes to most popular places. As Joel will tell you, there is a dog at the side of the house, but I don't remember he/her barking. He/she will come up to the gate at times, just an FYI, but I am fine with dogs so I wasn't concerned.
The area seemed pretty safe. Joel and his family are very nice and helpful. I would stay here again.
