A great place to stay for a great price. Oji is friendly and very responsive. The central location offered a short ride to Grand Central Market, Harold and Belle's and Post & Beam - all great places to eat (and the home has a refrigerator for you to store any leftovers). Probably should have taken the Metro train to Santa Monica but didn't realize how close it was to where we stayed until we were walking back from Post & Beam. We went to the movies in the nearby shopping mall because the rain cut into our beach time. But we also did First Fridays in Venice's Abbot Kinney Blvd and the Mastery exhibit at MOCA. Oji's spot was pretty convenient to everywhere we wanted to go.
If you decide to stay inside, his widescreen TV also offers many options (such as Netflix). Neighborhood was safe and low key. Nice spot and nice host.
