The neighborhood is safe A restaurant owner indicates that the neighborhood is very desirable. I saw people jogging at 9 PM so I presume it is safe.
The location is about a mile away from 3 grocery stores (VONS, ALDI, Range 99) and a few shopping plazas, very convenient if you want to get something quickly.
The house is less than 3 miles away from a large shopping mall, Westfield mall. We hang out at the mall quite a bit when we have gaps in our itinerary .
The location is about 15 miles away from Universal Studio, little Tokyo and Hollywood. 15 miles translates to 30 minutes drive in L.A. traffic.
The place is clean and comfortable. There is enough bed space for 5 guests. We have 5 guests, fighting for a single bathroom is a bit of challenge in the morning.
There is a grassy backyard with lots of flowers. There are out door table and chairs for you to have breakfast in the back yard. The plot is not big but cozy enough.
The owner provides everything, coffee, tea, laundry detergent, dish detergent, napkins, knives, plates, bowls, trash bags, pots and pans.
Consensus of everybody in my group is that this place feels like home.
