We stayed at Simone and Claudia's for a week during our trip to LA and would definitely recommend the place! The unit is safe and very conveniently located. There's a parking spot in a gated parking lot which makes things easy if you're renting a car or driving from out of town. It's close to the freeway, about an hour away from LAX, 10-15 from Universal and Warner Bros, and generally 20-30 minutes away from downtown LA.
The apartment was very clean when we arrived and Simone and Claudia provided all of the essentials (lots of clean towels, bed sheets, etc). At first, we found the apartment to be very hot but the extra AC unit that they provided helped with that and the heat wasn't much of an issue for the rest of our trip. Claudia was also always very prompt at responding to my texts whenever I had questions. I would stay here again!
