Donnie's house was located very close to LAX and in a very nice neighborhood right by Loyola Marymount. Very close to areas like Marina del Rey (what I've heard is Cougartown if that's what you are looking for), Manhattan Beach (really nice cleaner version of San Francisco vibes based on the hills down to the beach and the houses), and Santa Monica.
House was clean and when thinking of LA in general... Very spacious in comparison to other houses I've been in out there. The outside patio area was where we spent most of our time while at the house because it provides just enough shade and sun.
I definitely recommend taking a walk every morning because the neighborhood is quiet, safe, and you can't beat Cali sun.
I'd recommend staying there because location, space, plenty of communication from Donnie.
I will say I was a bit spooked because of how insistant Donnie was about NOT THROWING PARTIES, but after seeing that that it was right next to a college and in a nice neighborhood... I could see how his hospitality could be taken advantage of for sure. But I was in the house with about 11 family members and we kept it calm and respectiful so Donnie never had an issue with us. So just be respectful and remember it is someone else's house and they do have neighbors that live there year round!
