Angelica was a very welcoming host, stocking the room with coffee, oranges and some bottled water. She met us outside and introduced us to her daughter who would be overseeing our stay, as she was going to be out of town. Very polite.

The Great:
For 60$ a night, you really can't find a place with your own bathroom and no shared house mates. So, it's a true steal for those who want some privacy. Cheaper than any hostel in L.A.! The pool house has cable (I don't even have cable at home) so it was a treat to do some channel surfing. There is plenty of parking on the street for your car. Bus lines are very nearby as well. Clean, Lots of windows to leave open and get a cross-breeze so that it stays cool (no a/c) and the water in the shower gets piping hot!

The Not So Great:
The pool house shares a wall with another pool house which is rented out long-term. This neighbor on our first night began banging around loudly (It sounded like a pot and pan clanging festival) at 1am and did not cease until close to 4am. We mentioned this to a few people who were using the garage for renovation projects and they said hat they had told the tenants there to keep it down. The second night was MUCH better. But, there were certainly always people milling around outside the house near the garage and pool. So, super private in the pool house, but always someone to see you coming and going. The bed is not a bed, but a fold down sofa, so if you're a picky sleeper or a bigger person looking to share- this may not be for you.

Over All:
This was perfect for our stay. We just needed a clean, inexpensive place, preferably without housemates or roommates for two nights and this fit the bill. Draw back was the noisy neighbor, but otherwise I would recommend it to anyone looking for a cost effective spot!
