Beautiful, safe neighborhood down the road from Los Feliz restaurants/bars/Griffith Park. Excellent choice if you plan on staying on the east side. Not as desirable if you want beaches everyday.

The I-5 entrance is only a few blocks away and about a 5-7 minute drive to downtown (assuming there is no traffic).

Don't feel like going anywhere, the local neighborhood has some cute restaurants, coffeeshops/bakeries & cool dive bars.
