I rented this room for a month and a half because I was traveling for work. Ray and his partner (Rosie) were very friendly and accommodating. There was another renter and he was quiet and friendly. Everyone respected each others' space. It is very central to Santa Monica and DT Culver City. The room is large with a comfortable bed, a lot of closet space, drawer space, desk, and TV (amazon fire stick w/ apps). There are a few house rules that they notify you upon arriving (one being no eating in the room) which took some getting used to, but pretty straight forward. The bathroom is shared with the 1 other renter. It's facing a main street, but that wasn't a problem. It has a distant view of DTLA which was a nice surprise. I did my laundry at a laundry mat since it was faster that way (many places have a laundry service too. They can share the one near the apartment). There was good amount of parking in the neighborhood and never felt unsave even when getting home late.
