Jo Jo was very responsive and accommodating and provided great suggestions of the area. My fiancé grew up in LA and the location was perfect for him to show me around his hometown. The neighborhood felt safe and it was very close to plenty of restaurants and grocery stores. You can tell some renovations have been done (the kitchen was very nice) and some are still in process. This will be a beautiful apartment once finished, and as-is provided a nice, comfortable stay at a great value! I can't speak on how well appointed the kitchen was as we didn't cook, but it worked for our purposes. Don't be deterred by all the house rules, they are very easy to follow. The parking pad is spacious and check-in and check-out was a breeze. Would stay here again if in the area and would recommend to fellow travelers.
