I really loved staying with Jo. Her apartment is perfectly located to visit the Impact Hub in LA, and also close enough to the public transport systems to visit attractions across the city. In fact if you are touring up the West Coast (or down) it's just a short walk from the Bus from San Francisco, and again to or from the Union Station and the bus to LAX. Be careful of Little Tokyo though... so much pop fashion and gadgets you might go broke :). Also a very efficient launderette just downstairs.
