Linda was a gracious host. She was flexible to meet my need to check in early, and was kind enough to pick up some groceries I had requested prior to my arrival. She even allowed us to leave our luggage at her studio after we checked out, allowing us to tour the USC campus without them. The interior of her apartment is exactly as featured on the photos: clean, spacious and well provisioned. The apartment is located on a busy main street, with the front door and one of the bedroom windows directly facing the sidewalk. People sensitive to noises would be challenged by the sounds of the traffic. There is a bus stop a few steps away, and every time one of the buses came to a stop, I could hear the engine noises and occasional screech of the brakes inside of the apartment late into the night. It is located in a commercial area. As such, it felt deserted at night. It is definitely not in an area where I would feel comfortable walking around in the dark. We did not rent a car. But getting an uber or lyft was easy. Other than that, the apartment itself was comfortable, spacious and clean.
