I've been satisfied staying here. Very good location: 1km to the nearest underground metro station (Wilshire/Normandie), less than 100m to the bus "metro" station, 600m to a good supermarket (Jons) and 20 minutes to the nearest McDonald's. Using underground metro you can easily reach the Hollywood, the Universal Studio and the Downtown L.A. Using bus metro you can even get to the downtown Santa Monica. Just buy a "tap card" and all transfers between metro buses will be free for 2 hours. If you drive your own car or rented - this apartment is not for you. The only option is a street parking. But. The street is tightly busy by neighbors. Finding a free parking lot is a hard thing. But we didn't use any car so we really enjoyed to be there.
