Amir was a great host who communicated promptly when I contacted him to sort out a minor defect. Someone came by the next day in the morning, which was really helpful and much appreciated. The apartment was as advertised (TV seemed bigger than on the pictures) and there are several places to eat right across the street. It's a bit of a further walk to a Trader Joe's or Ralphs, but there's a Peet's Coffee very close by, and it's only a 20-minute walk to Sawtelle Japantown where there are a lot of restaurants and a Japanese supermarket.
