Great stay - far from BH/Culver City/West Hollywood/Venice but close enough to other places such as old Pasadena and downtown LA. Takes about an hour to get to southern LA. Very safe neighbourhood, I felt very safe in Vanessa's home. Very spacious closet as well to fit all your shopping :) It was nice to come home to a quiet place after a long day. Be aware that this is outside of the city and thus a more quiet area. There is a grocery store and pharmacy, Starbucks, Target about 5-10 min away at Rosemead. Thanks, Vanessa! My boyfriend and I felt welcomed.
