Conveniently set in the South Los Angeles district of Los Angeles, Good Shepard Homestay is located 2.6 km from Crypto.com Arena, 2.8 km from Microsoft Theater and 2.9 km from California Science Center. This homestay provides free private parking and a shared kitchen. La Union Station is 5.4 km from the homestay and Dodger Stadium is 10 km away. Jacob has done a fantastic job with the property and I highly recommend it. The complex of about a dozen units is brand new and extremely well kept up. Jacob did a great job at communicating and getting me into the unit, he's clearly got this process down to a science and he's very good at it. Also a very interesting and motivated young man in his own right, to be building and running a hospitality business so well. Good Shepard was a base for four days for me to visit my son at USC and it worked perfectly for that. My options were either this or the USC Hotel at $400+ a night, and although obviously not as close a walk, I'm more than happy to save $1000 bucks and walk a bit. Private Parking is available at the units, which is essential as LA parking is so difficult everywhere. Jacob has also thought of all the important little touches throughout, which you'll spot as you stay there. Highly recommended! Also, if you're looking for a good breakfast place on the walk to USC, give Seree's Coffee Shop a try! It's awesome and well-priced, but not at all what you'd expect. Great Thai-Chinese gentlemen runs the place and it's just a great home cooked meal.

The owners were organized and easy to communicate with and made sure I knew everything I needed to before arrival. I would recommend this space to other travellers. It was truly a blessing from Heaven to stay there.
