What can I say a fantastic place to stay with great hosts. The house is very homely and has lots of character. It is only a short 12 minute ride to Union Station and the tram is directly 1 minute walk.
Loved the area especially the Mexican Cave bar, lots of places to eat out. If you want to visit LA but stay in an area that is not in the hustle and bustle then look no further.
We did not have a car and found the transportation so easy and Uber is super cheap, cost us $26 from Santa Monica.
Super bonus for me was that I left my passport behind and Zac was kind enough to meet me at Union Station........clearly saving me from missing my flight.
