The studio was lovely and perfect for two people. My boyfriend and I loved the space because it was convenient to go to the local market and buy groceries. You can buy a week metro pass take the subway to manhattan and many other places in no or little time. The area is gentrifying, so it has a diverse population. We definitely felt safe walking at night - but we are from the hood in LA, so we know what's up. John also provided some bfast type food and other toiletries that we did not have such as toothpaste. I recommend.
