Our stay at Lisa's place was darling. The house is old and beautiful and the room is well stocked with anything you might need. Communicating with Lisa was quick and easy, she was very kind and super responsive. The location is great, it was super convenient to get to USC and there is THE BEST Asian place just a couple blocks down (Ebaes - we ate there like every night). It was also super easy to get a Lyft (we tried both Uber and Lyft, but Lyft seemed to be better/cheaper in that area) and the house is relatively close to the highway so it's relatively quick to get anywhere you need to go.
Regardless of your reason for visiting LA, Lisa's place is a great jumping off point!
