Sigal's place is in a prime area, close to Mid-Wilshire, The Grove, Fairfax, Beverly Center etc and is the best value in the area. She and her husband were very nice and welcoming! If you can afford it, I recommend renting her place in the back which is a stand-alone guest house. The room includes a washer/dryer which can't be beat, and there's a CVS a few blocks away. I recommend The Green Table which is about a block away - they have great salads, smoothie bowls etc. Fairfax is walking distance with all the great Ethiopian restaurants it has to offer! I didn't have a car for my month long stay, so I don't know what the parking situation is like. The neighborhood is super cute, and I walked to work the entire time I stayed. Having lived in LA, I can tell you this is a safe residential neighborhood. Sigal was super accommodating and let me make last minute changes when things fell through on my work contract! Things to note: the residents above the space have young children who wake up around 6am, so if you're into sleeping in I would bring ear plugs. I work late so I invested in a white noise machine and ear plugs since I'd be staying a month - just something to keep in mind if this is a work trip. The toilet was bit fickle on flushing, but I let Sigal know and she had her husband fix it right away! She's a very attentive host and responded whenever there was an issue.
