This is a great place in a safe, quiet, neighborhood. Yes you can hear the freeway, but it was very faint and I barely noticed it. Plenty of restaurants a short drive away. I recommend staying here if you have a rental car. There is free, easy street parking out front. Also, the BnB is equidistant from downtown LA and to the beach. Jennifer and Jack were kind enough to share part of their fridge so I could save some on breakfast w/ yogurt/cold brew coffee.
