The place is exactly as described, a cozy hideaway in the middle of a residential area in a busy city. 15 minutes away from Universal Studios, and about 30 minutes away from a number of great restaurants. One thing to note, although it did not affect my stay, if you're 6' foot or taller, you might have a bit of trouble fitting in the shower. Other than that, the place was well maintained, private, and very quiet.
