Sami's place worked out very well for me. I only met Sami briefly as he was out of town while I was there, but the apartment manager Roxane took good care of me. The apartment was clean and welcoming (a bottle of wine), the bed was comfortable, the living room very usable, and the kitchen well equipped. For me the location of this apartment was perfect. Close to the bike path, easy to get on the 170 to go into LA, or to Runyon Canyon where I did yoga regularly.
