Centrally located, Trader Joe's, Ralph's grocery (get some coffee grounds there to use the coffee maker in cupboard), various restaurants just a few blocks away, all else easily accessible by bus. Host is very responsive and accommodating. No a/c in apartment as listed on description page. Having lived in LA in the past, I figured I could hack it but I arrived in the middle of an unseasonably cold spring, so best be prepared. Otherwise had a great stay at an unbeatable price.
