My husband and I stayed at Kyung’s place for two weeks and would definitely recommend it for short and long visits to LA. Don’t base your decision to book on what the house may look like from the outside - its undergoing a revamp and the exterior may not be appealing but its beautiful inside. Its clean, stylishly homey with plants and the art on the walls, everything including fittings looks brand new, the bed is comfortable and there’s a lot of space compared to some of the other places we’ve stayed at in LA. Kyung is a really gracious host (dropping off a blanket when the weather suddenly got cold, dropping off reusable grocery bags so we wouldn’t have to buy those), very quick to respond to any queries and deal with any concerns. The house is located close to shops, and despite what people say about the neighbourhood, we never felt unsafe or worried being out late, and there seem to be many families living on this street. You’re a short walk away from the Metro and exploring downtown or getting a meal in Little Tokyo. All in all, this place is very good value for money.
