This place is in Culver city, close to Sony studios and a short walk from a bus stop where you ca get to downtown LA in 45mins - 1hr depending on traffic. There may be a few homeless near the area but we never felt insecure. It has it own parking spot (be sure to read the host's guidelines). I didn't found the guidelines for the parking but a quick call and Juan sent them to my phone, really responsive! The place was really clean, with a private bathroom and really comfortable bed. It felt like staying at a hotel! Would definetively recommend this place if you go to LA.
