We stayed here for 17 days. We didn't know that East LA is a dangerous place before we came here but anyway the location was good to travel and if you have a car you won't feel that dangerous. However, you *need* to rent a car to go somewhere or else it will be very uncomfortable(and we felt really unsafe walking around LA. It's not like NYC). Universal, Santa monica, Downtown, Koreatown, Anaheim are close from this house(around 30mins by car). Ontario and Riverside was 50mins away too. I think it would be a good choice if u r gonna visit those places. We even visited San diego. Oh bedroom is cold cuz there's a window right above your bed so you have to leave the room door open during night time(The heater is only in the livingroom.) I think the sink disposal has to be changed though. Other than that the host was really nice and easy to keep in touch.
