I had a great time at Grace's place. The place itself was clean and much better than the pictures described. The check-in process was seamless, as Grace is a great communicator and provides you all the relevant details you need to know. I chose to rent a vehicle to get around more quickly. Luckily there's street parking nearby, and Grace was thoughtful enough to let me park near her driveway on certain days.
The suite includes two very soft/firm memory foam mattresses and pillows. Very clean, very comfortable. Probably some of the best sleep, I've gotten on vacation. A very large smart TV is included with Netflix, which was a nice touch. She also provides a binder with all the info you need including wifi, how to use the tv, places to go and other cool information. There's also a mini-fridge a microwave, iron, and other things to help during your stay. Towels and other toiletries were provided. The neighborhood was quiet. Felt safe. The only noise was a rooster in a neighboring yard somewhere, which I didn't have an issue with.
Getting around the city wasn't an issue, there's a metro bus about 5 blocks away, but I choose to drive a rental. The neighborhood is about 10 minutes away from the hipster trendy Echo Park area and 20 mins from Downtown LA, 30 minutes from the Hollywood walk, and surprisingly close to the other areas like Little Thailand, Little Armenia, and Griffith Observatory (with a car of course). It was great zipping around.
Had a great stay. The comfort and neighborhood feel was a great removal from the busy touristy activities. Highly recommended.
