This location was central and close to places like Hollywood and downtown LA. The studio is secluded and private which we really enjoyed. The hosts were great about providing a guide about nearby attractions and restaurants. We did notice a few minor things regarding cleanliness (e.g., hair on the kitchen sponge, dirty bathroom and room rugs). The studio also seems to be in need of some updating. There are skylights in the room and bathroom which we liked but, the host had some sort of wax paper hanging from the ceiling, which was intended to block out the light. This was a bit of an eye sore. The neighborhood itself was not the best but the proximity to areas like Korea town and the convention center is nice.
