Culver City is a terrific area to stay if you're visiting LA, and the location of Sara's place can't be beat! It's on a great tree-lined street, and only steps from great restaurants.
Sara was so easy to communicate with--exactly what you want in a host!
The apartment is very comfortable. We were there on an especially hot weekend and I was thrilled that there was A/C! The apartment is pretty well-worn and could use some renovation, but it's nice enough.
