I'll give two separate reviews- one for the home and one for the neighborhood. We stayed for 2 weeks. The place is just as pictured. Check-in was easy and communication was swift. We were looking for a place that had a full kitchen and designated parking since we were staying for 2 weeks. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. The little outdoor area by the kitchen is very nice and sweet. The unit was clean, except for a lone sock left behind by the previous guest on the bedroom floor. Wasn't a big deal.
Now, as for the neighborhood. I'm from LA and have worked in this neighborhood for years. There are a lot of homeless people on this street and this entire neighborhood. There is a non-profit organization with several locations in this area that provides services to the homeless. Hence, their presence. Personally, I'm not bothered by them because of my line of work. However, for someone not familiar with LA or used to being in close proximity to homeless individuals, you may feel uncomfortable.
Overall, our stay was fine and we enjoyed our time. We did like the fact that Whole Foods and CVS is right next door and made things very convenient for us.
