I went to an observership at UCLA, Cristy's home was more or less 15 minutes away by bus. It was easy to take the bus, I had to walk 3 blocks to an avenue where public transport was available. What you see in the pictures is what you'll find. The bed was really comfortable, the bathroom was clean and spacious and Cristy and her husband were very nice to us :)
I would stay again, its is very well located, 15 min distance to UCLA, Santa Monica.. Nice and quiet neighborhood.
