This was our 2nd stay with Kamal and when possible, will try to stay with him again. I had been contacted by another host that I was going to be cancelled (the location was more convenient for why we're in LA) . I contacted Kamal and he was gracious enough to understand and wait until the cancel was complete and then accepted our booking. His place is lovely, the room large and spacious with a large private in room bathroom. Use of the kitchen is no problem. The neighbor hood is nice and quiet. There is always street parking within a block of his home. There is access to the major highway system close by, and public transportation a short walk away. Easy drive to a multitude of great shopping, restaurants and tourist attractions.
I mention this next part FYI. The bedroom is upstairs. The stairs are wide and easy to use if you are able to use stairs. If stairs are an issue then this might be a concern.
Kamal is a great host, easy to get along with and always provides good info about LA and the local area.
I strongly recommend considering Kamal for your host in LA.
