Ari's studio is awesome, perfect for a long-term stay. I had a month long class at UCLA and the bus stop was about a minute walk and then a 15 minute ride, super convenient.
Everything you need at the studio - there is a two burner electric stove, mini fridge, a heater/ac unit, a full size bed, and a really nice, clean bathroom. Whole thing is private, totally separate from the main house.
2 minute walk to the local bar, 2 minute walk to vons, 10 minute walk to Trader Joe's. Great place to stay in LA.
