I had the privilege of staying at Kari's for 3 months. Kari is an excellent host who went above and beyond to make me feel at home. The neighbourhood is safe ( I used to walk home from work every night) and close to Sunset which has a grocery store, restaurants, shopping, ect. Keep in mind that it is a hilly area but that's standard LA. With your own private entrance you have a lot of privacy. Kari would promptly respond to me if I ever had any questions. The apartment itself is adorable, take advantage of the gorgeous patio. I loved my stay and highly recommend Kari's unit.
