My boyfriend and I stayed here a week and it worked perfectly for us. It's like a 15-20 minute walk away from a large mall and shopping strip with 3 different movie theaters and tons of places to eat. It was also only a $10-$15 uber ride away from the airport, Universal Studios & most of the other places we wanted to visit in LA/Hollywood. We met one of the hosts when we checked in and she was very friendly and let us know when they would be out of town and to message them if we needed anything. They even left me a note wishing me a happy birthday! Would definitely stay here again.
