Everything I needed in a convenient location!

This is a great property! I enjoyed my stay very much. The property is immaculately clean—so impressive! The bed is comfortable, there were plenty of supplies(towels, cups, etc) and the AC kept me comfy. Such an easy and quick walk to LaBrea and Wilshire.

Enjoyable central location

The place is cute, with a nice amount of room for a couple. Location is very ideal, not too far from beach but also easy access to Koreatown and reasonable access to downtown. MJ is a good and quick communicator.

Great place

We spent 4 nights here and have already booked another stay. It was a very clean and spacious place. No stove but food delivery was easy and places to eat close by. Owner was very responsive to any questions we had. It had such a private feel to it and it was just what we were looking for!

Second stay - still great!

My second stay at MJs place and it's still comfy, cozy, clean and quiet. The location is very centralized and walkable to many places such as Target, several grocery options, restaurants, transit etc. Neighborhood is awesome...one of my favs in the city. I will return MJ!

Perfect stay in the heart of L.A.

I loved this place! It was perfect for my quick solo trip to L.A. It's centrally located near museum row (which you can even walk to!) and restaurants, coffee, etc. The bed is very comfortable, and the rental is quiet, and I'm a light sleeper so that's something I really need. The host was great at communicating all details. I'll definitely book again when I need to visit L.A.

Outstanding cozy neighborhood respite

Clean, easy, simple. MJ was very communicative, the property exactly as advertised, and was within walking distance of everything we needed. If we'd had a car, we could have parked it. Amazing. We'll be back.

Private Hideaway in a Quiet Neighborhood

Cozy but spacious, an easy place to "be" and a convenient place to come and go from. Excellent and comfortable furnishings, pleasant outdoor patio, and very easy to adapt to the "minimalist" kitchen, especially since there are great places to eat in LA! The bathroom is large with tub and shower, accessories are provided, and the entire place is private and quiet. Host MJ is thoughtful and communicates promptly. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

Quaint City Oasis

First of all MJ is outstanding! Great communication and quick. Location is awesome as this is in a very established neighborhood and very centralized. You can walk to just about anything including Target. All creature comforts are available including a really nice comfy bed and awesome tub. Spacious and well equipped with a relaxing backyard. I will stay here again and again. Thanks MJ!

Cute little apartment in museum neighborhood

This small apartment had nice outdoor space, challenging street parking, and a good location for walking to attractions. The apartment was clean and the bed was very comfortable, we caught up on sleep! The 'kitchen' is a tiny closet with a mini fridge and coffee maker, but no sink. Had to wash dishes and fill water in the bathroom. Overall a good value for location and amenities.

Exactly as described

Exactly as described in other reviews. Safe quiet neighborhood, street parking in front with parking pass, spotless apartment, great bed & bedding, great water pressure in the shower & lots of hot water. Has coffee maker, microwave & small refrigerator. I did not use any of the cups or utensils but had what you would need. Quick feedback for questions from owner. No negatives

Perfect Home Away from Home!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this Vrbo property in Los Angeles, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. Situated in a prime LA neighborhood, the property offers the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility. I was minutes away from top attractions and numerous cafes and restaurants. The neighborhood felt safe and welcoming, adding to the overall comfort of our stay. The duplex itself is impeccably clean and beautifully decorated, The bed was very comfortable and I loved the beautiful bathtub. The host was incredibly responsive and hospitable. From the seamless check-in process to providing helpful local tips, he made sure my stay was flawless. His attention to detail and genuine care truly stood out. This Vrbo property is a gem in Los Angeles. Whether you're visiting for business, a family vacation, or a romantic getaway, this home offers everything you could want and more. It's clear that a lot of thought and care has gone into creating a perfect guest experience.

Way Better than the Photos

This is a great location and VRBO. I highly recommend it. I searched high and low at all the different options for this area of LA and decided to go with this VRBO. The neighborhood it is in is super nice and feels very safe. The parking was super easy since the house shares the street with an elementary school. However, it was the back side of the school so there wasn't a ton of noise or anything from the school.The actual rental is way nicer than it appears in the photos. It's a lot bigger, the furniture is very comfortable (best bed we slept in the whole trip) and the outdoor area was enjoyable to sit in during the mornings and afternoon. Only thing I wish was that their was more of a legit kitchen, but the listing clearly states that there is no kitchen so that isn't the VRBOs fault. What the listing says is there is indeed there and even a little more.All that to say, if you're on the fence, just go ahead a book this place. Great option for this area of LA!

The house itself was fine once you got inside. The steps at the gate are slanted and we feared falling; same feeling with the old concrete walkway to the sliding glass door. My biggest disappointment was with the garden seating area. It is described as “charming” and it could be, but it is currently uncared for and not very inviting.

Great, comfortable property in nice neighborhood

This is a very nice space in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Self check in was easy with a lockbox. The space is clean and has a huge bedroom and bathroom. The kitchenette area has everything you need for coffee or snacks (no stove). There is also a nice seating area outside that is perfect for morning coffee from the Keurig. Within walking distance to La Brea where there are several very good places - a bakery (Raji), restaurants (Met Him at a Bar, Met Her at a Bar) and bars (All Seasons Brewing, Little Bar). And even more dining options within walking distance north to Wilshire. Also close to the bus line - took the bus to Hollywood and also to Downtown during my stay. I would definitely stay here again.
