This is a basic no-frills studio apartment, the host was friendly and helpful. I found a few things to be confusing (the hot water handle in the shower) and she came right away and offered assistance.
There is no air conditioning. I thought this would be a big problem when I arrived (temps were reaching the 90s) but because the unit is concrete and located at the bottom of a hill, it stayed comfortable with just a fan and open window.
It's a quiet, safe neighborhood, adequate (& free) street parking, convenient to Burbank airport and not too far to downtown or Hollywood. Not luxurious but it is clean and does contain the basic things you need like a mini refrigerator, microwave, hot plate.
It is technically "in a forest" but not exactly scenic, looked like there was some construction debris or something left over in the back yard. Be aware it is about 2 flights of stairs to get down to the unit. There are motion sensor lights so you can see your way at night, which is nice.
Overall I felt it was a good option in the price point.
