Taylor's place is in a great location about a 12 minute drive from the airport and 10 minute walk to the beach. He and his roommate were very kind and so were the other guests staying at the place at the same time, though we were out most of the time and did not get to spend much time chatting. If you want a laid back, come-as-you-go atmosphere this is the stay for you. The apartment was clean and comfortable, though I have to say the shower, while not cold, never got hot. There is a lot of noise from the street (and in the summer you need the window open because the room gets very warm without it) which did not bother me too much, but the hosts provided ear plugs which helped my girlfriend sleep. Street parking right by the place is a little tricky as it is only 2 hour parking from 7am-3pm and not available 3-7pm. The decor all throughout the house was awesome! I would recommend Taylor's place to any young travelers looking to see the west side of LA
