Nikkia's place is in a really great location. It is not in a expensive neighborhood but it is a good neighborhood and safe. There are many close bus routes. Bus 33 can take you to down down in one direction and in the other direction to Venice, Marina del Rey, and Santa Monica Beaches. Bus number 6, which is also close can take you to either LAX or UCLA.
Nikkia is very friendly and very helpful. She would give suggestions for places to visit and restaurant recommendations. She would do anything to make you feel comfortable.
The place was really clean.
If you are coming to LA for a short business visit or for tourism and don't want to spend a fortune, you should definitely consider this place.
