Erik and Lauren are really great hosts. They offer a lot of information about the apartment and the area. The room was super clean and so was the bathroom and the kitchen. Special thanks for the coffee cups available! I was actually able to do my laundry super fast and easy. The location is good for those who want to visit both the beaches (Santa Monica, Venice, ...) and Hollywood. Like most LA, the guest depend on car or apps to move around, though. Overall, an excellent choice.
