Radus studio is really cozy and nice and the neighbourhood is save and quiet. There is also an nice cafe/supermarket down the road, where you can get tasty breakfast and the people there are really kind!
Visiting the city was also not such a problem. We had a rental car, but were also using uber-taxies from time to time (stressfree and not expensive).
Radu was on travel during our stay in his studio. But he sent us all necessary information by mail in advance and we always stayed in contact. He is really friendly and we really loved staying in this studio during our stay in LA.
