The apartment was perfect, clean, superb location, and a suitable size for my friend and I! The apartment definitely lived up to our expectations! It is close to the bus stop and several eating places. And also safety wasn't a problem for us and had no negative encounters but all positive encounters with the locals there! Jose, I must say, was a top notch host, greatly exceeding our expectations in our stay there! He went out of his way several times to ensure that we settled in comfortably, checked in occasionally to see if there was anything we needed. Jose is definitely an approachable and friendly person to talk to! From the day we arrived, till the day we left, he made us feel EXTREMELY blessed to be in his care. I'd say that great apartments are hard to come by, but great hosts are even tougher to find and Jose happened to be one of them! Definitely will come back to stay in either of Jose's apartments when i'm back in LA! Thanks Jose for having us! It was a pleasure meeting you!:D
