I had a comfortable 3 weeks at Tal's place. It is an excellent room with its own private entrance. You really feel like you have your own studio apartment. The private bath is modern and clean.
It's in a safe residential area, and was very convenient to my work in the Valley, but LA is super spread out so it may not be every visitors best location.
Finally, Tal is very responsive to your needs. I had need for a sink repair on my 2nd day and it was dealt with immediately.
