Great location, walkable to the center of North Hollywood. Guest suite attached to main house. The washer and dryer can be heard as they are along a shared wall, just on the other side of the door (pictured). The heat comes from the ceiling. The thermostat is inaccessible to guests. If too warm, the ceiling vent closes. As the air tries to make its way through, it becomes a bit loud. We slept great on the nights the heat was off. The night we were too hot, we were able to turn on the AC--also loud. Keiko was very responsive to our concerns, even going so far as to invite us to go into the main house to adjust the thermostat. We appreciated this, but did not want to disturb the main occupant. All in all, a great location, simple, comfy bed, and had everything we needed.
