Although I did not meet Sam and Zac, the neighbors were very helpful in accommodating me in! Great host and made sure I had all the essentials. The netflix on the TV was great and the room was very clean. I was only here for a week and I was working, so I didn't spend much time around the neighborhood. There were some loud noises at night from people but that's a given being in Los Angeles. There is some good food around the area!
