The location is excellent - in West L.A., it's very convenient to Santa Monica and other beach towns, but also not super-far from areas like downtown, Runyon Canyon, and Hollywood. And you can walk to amenities like a CVS and strip malls with things like a dry cleaner. There are also many diverse restaurants in the vicinity, including a plethora of Japanese ones. The studio is not super-big, but it was comfortable to live in for 5 1/2 months and Melissa provides a lot of amenities like bedding, towels, a full-sized refrigerator (which was hardly standard in other Airbnb listings in the area I looked at), coffee, and more. The place was very clean and well-organized when I moved in. Melissa and her husband Gil were also friendly and very responsive to communications when I had questions or when issues arose like a local internet outage.
