Carlos’ place in Highland Park was great. I loved the place because it was comfortable and clean. The stairs on the front side of the building are a little steep if you are carrying large suitcases, so I recommend going around to the back staircase.
Highland Park is a great area in itself. There are cool bars and restaurants just down its Main Street. I spent a lot of time downtown area with friends and my family, it was a little bit of a drive but nothing excessive for LA. I’d say 15-25 mins depending where in the city you’re going.
I recommend the place!
