Nathalie is a kind and laid back host. The apartment is clean and simple. No frills. The long wooden indoor staircase up to the rooms is pleasing. The mattresses in the bedroom are ultra firm. The walk-in closet is a plus. My daughter and I both give the modern, glass, tile, and granite shower a thumbs up. The deck and outdoor sofa are on ground level next to the host's kitchen door, not adjoining the apartment upstairs. No indoor sofa. The two wall units that cool the rooms are by nature louder than central air. It's a bit tricky to fold the pleated paper shades by hand for light in the bedroom during the day. The accommodations sit directly across the street from a public school and schoolyard in a centrally-located neighborhood. As always in LA, plan for traffic!
