We had a good stay at Nulise's place and we loved the location which was close to a grocery shop, laundrette, other necessities and only 12 min walk to Downtown Culver City. The area also felt super safe -- I walked home alone at 10pm and it was fine. Lots of people out walking early in the morning. The only thing I suggest is that you pack ear plugs as it is very noisy in the bedroom as the freeway is right behind the apartment. There is also no air con in the apartment, but bedroom does have a roof fan and the rest of the house was very breezing and comfortable. The apartment inside is really nice, Nulise has made it really homely and the room was comfortable. Shanti the door is also very beautiful. If you want to go to Venice Beach/ Santa Monica area -- Palms train station is across the road, 3 min walk, but take coins as our card didn't work in the system and we had to cab it to Santa Monica and the train would have been $20 cheaper. As a host, Nulise was accomodating and friendly.
