Yama's place is a hotspot. Its centrally located to a lot of good places. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Yama's friend was very nice and accommodating, patiently answering our questions on restaurant choices and places to see. Our favorite part was the talking parrot - Charlie and the friendly dog-Sheeba. Very entertaining! The room was very clean and nicely maintained. Yama's place would be my goto place in L.A for future trips!
