Helen turned out to be much more than I would expect to find in an Airbnb host. She was perfectly helpful, hospitable, and accommodating. I felt more like visiting family or a friend, and I would not even want to consider staying anywhere else if I ever visit LA again. As for her place, it's cozy, clean, has everything I could possibly need, and most importantly, it really felt like a home. The location is a great choice for those who are visiting the USC. I often walked to the campus (ca.25 min) and did not make any negative experiences, although it wasn't very late at night, of course. The train station is 10 min walk away, you can go straight to downtown LA or Santa Monica, which is very convenient. There is supermarket 3 min walk away and there is delicious affordable street food outside the supermarket in the evening. Highly recommend
