We loved staying at Jim's place. You get a good sense of the place from the photos. You get a lot of privacy, but you're just round the corner from the area's main two streets for lots of great tacos, a beer at the Hermosillo, and the Los Angeles Police Museum. Also a short drive from a lot of the LA action in general. Didn't meet Jim, but he was swift in replying to any messages we sent.
Definitely recommend staying here.
