I had a good time staying at Nima's place. It is a wonderful choice for those who have work to do at UCLA, either for conferences or for research. Nima is a very kind lady who would reply to your requests quickly; she would also help you with basic stuff (like olive oil and lemon for making a salad in my case :-)) readily. I like the complimentary coffee; sofa and bed are both comfortable. Since it is on the first floor, it can get chilly. Make sure you have a lightweight sweater or jacket if you visit in early Spring. If you have the blinds up, the studio is bright enough for you to feel comfortable. Getting a taxi ride by lyft is the most convenient way to get to UCLA. Its proximity to Westfield shopping mall is a plus. Treat it as your own home and you will enjoy it.
