Excellent place to stay, Safe area, easy to get to places like staples centre and santa monica beach by using the expo line. close to bus stops for different routes like culver city bus($1) which can take you to the lax bus centre you can get a free shuttle also gets you here. metro bus stops and big blue bus stops close by. walk north there's ucla if you don't mind the walk, other bus routes on the way. lots of options for food around, glad I stayed here definitely the right choice
