Overall a good place to stay while you're visiting LA.
Regarding location, it's a tad far out from the main LA center, but still a great place to use as your base for LA exploration. Couple things to note is that there was barely any mobile service available in this neighborhood. It may be different for each carrier. And there is street cleaning in these parts of suburbia (not what I'm used to) - I got a ticket for street parking on a Tuesday and it was expensive!
