this place is EXACTLY as pictured, in a safe neighborhood. it's about an hour from the Lax and around 35 min to everything else. we didn'tlike the layout of the living room couches, Phillip let us move them so we could better see tv &just move back before we left. it's just so clean and they are so fast at responding. this was myvery first Airbnb experience and I hope tthey are all like this!!!!!!
