We stayed at Oji's place for a month, and it's a really good place for its price. It's a nice back house with a beautiful backyard, lemon trees, flowers etc. The place is nice and cozy, kitchen is small but enough for making coffee and breakfast (if you want to cook a full dinner it would also be possible but not very comfortable).
The neighbourhood is fine, it's central-south LA, so if you don't expect it to be like West Hollywood or Beverly Hills, you'll be ok with it. A great advantage is parking space - it's really awesome! There are a lot of parking spots on the street, you'll always be able to park in front of the house!
The back house itself is nice and quite private, also Oji was out of town for about a half of our stay. Overall, it's a nice place to stay for a couple of days or a week, for longer stays it might be not that awesome but anyway it's a great value for money.
