Mary, I wasn't sure at first, but now we are taken with your little place! It was the perfect spot to get everywhere we needed to go while here. I was a little unsure initially because there were quite a few homeless people hanging around one street over. It was just my daughter and myself; however, your street seems fairly safe. We got a good deal (I thought) with the parking lot just down Cosmos, closest to the apt. When I told the guy we were staying here, he charged $20/day with in and out privileges. Our Fri night was pretty quiet, didn't even use the ear plugs Mary provided. Saturday was pretty noisy, though. Our room faces the parking lot of a restaurant/bar, so around 2 pm the noise was loud even with ear plugs. However, let me say my daughter wore the plugs and an eye mask, and she slept like a log! I think if I used my own plugs, which I normally travel with, but forgot, AND put on the AC/white noise I would have probably been fine. There's a super-nice Walgreens on Sunset and Vine if you forget anything - even has a sushi/food bar and a froyo bar (good to know if you are traveling with a kid!). Lots of restaurants. We ate a Umami Burger (YUM!), checked out a movie at Arclight, and went to Amoeba Music one day - all cool places to see! I was a little bummed that there wasn't a pot of coffee for the mornings. Would love to see that! BUT....so pleased to discover a Farmer's Market on Sunday morning just steps outside the front door. Really big, lots of selections and A COFFEE BAR! So check out the breakfast there. Even a fabulous little gluten free/vegan tent for morning breads/pastries. Overall a great stay as long as you plan for a little Saturday night noise. :) Thanks, Mary!
