I've been to LA at least a dozen times, and stayed at a lot of places. This one is a keeper. I brought my 18 and 13 year old sons. It was wonderful - and it had a lot to do with the lovely, easy, super-comfortable accommodations.
For the same cost as an okay hotel where we'd all be on top of each other - we had 2 full bedrooms and baths, a kitchen (stocked with the basics), laundry (blessing with boys), patio space, room for entertaining, and a free parking spot in a perfect neighborhood.
Amazing restaurants are in walking (or easy driving) distance, a great grocery store (Pavillion's - way better than Whole Foods in LA) is around the corner, and if you like ice cream - don't skip Salt & Straw on Santa Monica Blvd.
Communication with the owner was easy and excellent. We'll be back next summer.
