The location is terrific, with lots of amenities within walking distance, and easy drives to lots of LA's best locales. The neighborhood is definitely in transition, with a mix of good restaurants and coffee shops but also a fair number of drug addicts (particularly outside the 7-11 around the corner) out at night. Having a parking space makes this a particularly attractive rental. The apartment itself is a bit threadbare and austere, but serviceable. I think the carpet in the bedroom could use replacing (or a really good cleaning) but otherwise, the space was fine for us. There's a laundry room two doors down (sadly we could not get the app to work) and the exercise room on the first floor turned out to be a nice addition (that we used twice). It's very basic, but beggars can't be choosers. The host was first-rate when it came to communication. It was clear that he wanted us to have a good stay and his attention was appreciated.
