We stayed at Amanda's and Claudius' place for a week. We didn't want to rent a car and, as environmentalists, we prefer public transit over Uber or Lyft, so the location was great for us! Downtown is only a walk away, and public transit took us to Venice, Santa Monica, Hollywood, etc. :).
The entire place was very clean and very well organized. Every room gets their own shelf and fridge space and their are communal food items you are welcome to help yourself too. Amanda and Claudius were very responsive both via messaging and in person. They even lent us their passes to a screening of short films (+ a feature film ;)) because they couldn't make it.
