I personally enjoyed everything during my stay (I stayed 10 days). First of all, I want to say that all the pictures of Thac's place are real ! The room is very clean, large for 1 person, could also be perfect for a couple (there is a wardrobe available, excellent wi-fi), the bathroom has everything in it : bathroom sink, shower, bath, places to store your personal stuffs and its very clean. Large living room, and pretty large kitchen too (everything is available to cook if you want to, large american fridge to put your food and beverages in), laundry machine and dryer. There is also a garden, and a bike available to discover the area.
Concerning the location, you've got everything you need around : convenience store, several restaurants...
It's about a 10/15 minutes walk from the very trendy Abbot Kinney Boulevard with its cool restaurants (organic, pizzas, asians, hand made ice creams...), shopping spots (lots of nice clothing stores), bars and pubs...
It's about a 15/20 minutes walk from the great Venice Beach, where I personally had a blast (cool restaurants, biking from Marina Del Rey until Pacific Palisades...)
To visit other places in the city, rent a car, or use Uber, that's what I did, and it allowed me to visit Pasadena, Eagle Rock, Highland Park, Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, Hollywood Boulevard, the amazing Sunset Strip Boulevard, Downtown LA...)
I highly recommend this place, Thac is a very nice guy, he was very available and gave lots of advices, thanks a lot for everything Thac ! I still have so many things to see in your city !
