This is my second time staying at Steve's place. If you are flying through LAX this is a perfect area in the city to stay. It is about 15 mins from LAX and about 25 mins from DTLA. Not only is the neighborhood centrally located it is a very quiet and safe part of the city with plenty of safe street parking.
Steve's place is small and cozy, and is perfect for one or two people. We weren't planning to spend much time at the AirBnB so it was a perfect room. Steve also made his hot tub available to us - which was a great way to end our quick visit to LA.
Definitely recommend and will stay here again!
