I spent three months in Shlomo's house while doing a research stay at UCLA, and I had a great time there. The location is fantastic, well situated for those who use public transportation (bus and metro station really close) and drivers. Many restaurants and grocery shops around. Safe neighborhood. The house is clean and comfortable, and there is a nice patio. Shlomo is always helpful with anything you need.
If you want to meet great people and have a great stay in LA, this is a fantastic option.
