Elaine's place is exactly as described. The room is huge and the house is in a great location. She even has breakfast ready (cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, donuts, coffee) starting at 8am. We rented a car and had no problem finding parking even late at night which was great. It's very close to Runyon Canyon Park (about a 5 min drive from the south entrance) which made for a great early morning hike. Overall, Elaine's place was great. Her very shy older dog, Bijou, even warmed up to us a bit in the end.
