Linda and Gil were an absolute delight: super accommodating and helpful, which I really appreciated and made me feel at home straight away. The studio was perfectly set-up for my stay, chic and minimal, including all of the essentials one would need, while being conveniently located near USC and Downtown LA. It was also not much of a trek to other areas of interest (Hollywood, Sunset Blvd., etc.) and only ~20 minutes from the airport (traffic-willing). I loved the provided kitchenette and small appliances, which allowed me the freedom to cook my own meals in the studio. There is a small Latin market just three houses down that had a modest but great selection of fresh produce and essentials (the avocados were just divine and as large as baseballs), I didn't feel the need to look elsewhere for anything. However, there was often loud music being played in the morning and evenings (not sure if this is from the nearby Zumba studio or the property next to the studio) and the studio is equipped with blinds that let the light in the morning, which I could see as being irritating to some travellers. As an early riser, I wasn't bothered. Overall I would definitely come back to stay with Linda and Gil if I find myself in LA again, this studio is fabulous!
