I stayed at Pamela’s for a month while working full-time remotely — overall enjoyed my time there!
The wifi is good, for anyone who is planning on working full-time remotely while there. If you’re commuting to Santa Monica or anywhere on the west side, the drive is quick. The location is amazing for exploring west LA — 15-min drive to Sawtelle which has an assortment of delicious Japanese/Asian food, 10-min walk to the beautiful Century City Westfield Mall. Conveniently located near Ralph’s (10-min walk, 3-min drive) and Walgreens (10-min walk) as well. The neighborhood is super safe, gorgeously landscaped, and walkable, and the space is the perfect size for one.
While the in-law suite had everything I needed to be comfortable, it can be an intimate experience living directly under the host. For longer stays, it’s important to note that the kitchen area/appliances are on the smaller side, so whatever cooking I did was simpler than usual. Street parking is easy to find (usually parked in front of the house or across the street), but it is permit only — a complimentary parking permit is provided, but don’t forget to hang it up in your car and abide by street parking signs or you will get a ticket!! Through the whole month of April, the neighbors directly next door were doing construction on their property, but Pamela is transparent about the construction in her listing — she was also very considerate and accommodating; she personally reached out to the contractors to ask if they could keep the music down during business hours.
