You can't beat the location at Kathleen's place. It is right off a main avenue so you can bounce around pretty quickly. I thought the neighbourhood was very quiet outside of the usual sirens passing by. I used ear plugs, but I'm hyper-sensitive to noise. Kitchen is really well-appointed for putting something quick together, and I thought it was really smart to have a ceiling fan so you don't have to use an air conditioner in the summer. It was pretty cold and damp in LA when I was there, but there is heat if you need it. Parking is really easy on the street, and mattress is for fans of the softer sleeping surface. At this point I've Air BnB'ed so much I really just focus on 1) location, 2) cleanliness, and 3) quiet. You can't beat location and it's pretty quiet.
