Thomas was very responsive and there if I needed him. The place was small but cozy and decorated very nicely. It had everything you needed except AC. My stay was in the summer and it being LA the place got very hot. There were fans provided but I will say they were pretty dirty. Outside of that the place was spotless. Some minor maintenance was needed on the closet doors but nothing crazy. One thing I would say that could help is more curtains for the rest of the windows just to provide a bit of shade for the place to help keep it cool.
The neighborhood is definitely changing as Thomas stated. My experience with the neighbors was minimal but great. Definitely hardworking families and very respectable. If you do stay here I would say return the respect and be a good neighbor as it is their home still.
It is definitely a great location and a lot is close by. Thomas provides a good list of local places to eat near by and has everything else you need to know about the place. Enjoy!
