Very central location close to everything. Being on the hill gave us some wonderful views of LA. The house is very spacious and we all had plenty of room. The big kitchen counter gave us all a great place to hang out when we were at the house. The house is definitely renovated, although there are some spots that do look like they could do with a little maintenance (e.g. some dented kitchen cabinets, burn marks on the dining room floor, missing upstairs bath faucets on one of the showers). The landlord likely doesn't have time to do fixes because the house is so frequently rented out. Some ants in the kitchen when we were there -- probably due to the construction next door. Overall though, Yuliya's place was great and we would love to stay here again.
