We stayed at Eva's place for 3 nights while visiting LA. The place was clean is conveniently located between Santa Monica and DTLA. Santa Monica is 10-15 minutes away, DTLA about 30 minutes. One thing to note, you will have to find street parking which isn't difficult but pay attention to the parking signs. Some streets have street cleanings on certain days. We didn't know and got a parking citation on a Thursday.
