While on a quiet walk street, this house is also close to Washington Boulevard restaurants and bars, and the area can be bustling on weekends and holidays. There isn't any available parking at the house, but there is available street parking nearby, but parking can be tight on weekends--we often take Lyft when we don't feel like walking to dinner on Abbot Kinney. Please note that this walk-street home backs onto an urban alley, where occasional early morning truck traffic may be heard. While this has never been an issue for us, we provide sound machines and earplugs in all bedrooms for light sleepers. Additionally, the upstairs twin-size daybed is in a sitting area outside the queen bedroom. This means the person staying in the queen bedroom will need to pass through the sitting area to access the rest of the house. There is no on-site parking, and parking in the alley is only permitted briefly for drop-off or pick-up. However, during busier months, we're happy to provide a parking spot about 0.4 miles awayjust let us know if you'll be bringing a car. The owners do stay here periodically, so please treat the home with care and respect as you would your own.
