Ethlie is a kind and interesting woman with a downstairs den that was just right for my day there. She's flexible with check in and out time, was generous to offer to cook for me, and she has some interesting stories to tell. She will also be happy to just leave you alone if you just need some time to yourself. The kitchen is right above her rental room, so you might hear some walking around, but if she or her dog bother you, all you have to do is tell her.

This property is located between Studio City (the valley) and Hollywood and would make a good place for 1-2 tourists to stay while they explore either side of LA.
