Jay's apartment are well located. It's easy to get by bus to Hollywood, Santa Monica beach and it's only 20 minutes on foot to get to Beverly Hills. District is safe, nearby lot's of places to eat and drink. The apartment is nice and clean, the same as at the picture. Bathroom is shared. Room is private, but it's separated from the kitchen just by curtains. For us it was ok, as we use Jay's place just to sleep. We didn't meet Jay, but he was easy to communicate via airbnb and imessage. Very good experience.
