Ishka is a fantastic host. She was very responsive, communicative, and considerate of my needs. The room is a little small-is, as I'd expected and might be a little tight if---as I did--stay there all day to work on a project. But it was still pretty comfortable, and if you're using it as a base while you explore LA, then it's great. Very comfortable bed, and great selection of reading material.
There is a room outside which was tagged as 'shared space' in the description, however, I pretty much had it to myself.
Bonus: Barky but friendly dogs in the back garden, and a street cat they feed who is very friendly and let me pet him!
