The duplex is just as pictured, what you see is what you get. I appreciate that in a listing! The duplex was a great size for the four of us. Two in the bedroom and two on one of the futons, we all slept great. The building is older and could use some upgrades but was well maintained and provided for all of our needs. Yani was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. Check-in/out were super simple and our host very accommodating. We used this location as a hub for our visits to the Staples Center and Universal Studios. It is a great straight shot to Universal and much more reasonable than the crazy overpriced hotels in Universal City. The neighborhood upon first glance was not super appealing. That being said, we did have nice quiet nights, and it seemed like a pretty chill older area that ended up being just what we needed in the craziness of LA. Would definitely book again when we need a place in the area.
