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. I had an amazing stay at Good Shepherd Homestay! The place was incredibly clean and well-maintained, with beautifully decorated rooms. The private bathroom was also spotless. The location felt very safe and welcoming, and it’s conveniently close to all the main attractions. The host is an absolutely wonderful person - very friendly, kind, and always willing to help. Everything went smoothly and I truly recommend this stay with all my heart!!! There’s also a fully equipped kitchen downstairs, where you can make tea, coffee, or anything you need. It had everything one could ask for! If I ever return in the future, I would happily stay here again. I have only good memories from this place <3 The only minor issue, which was not the host’s fault at all, was that our neighbors on the same floor kept setting the air conditioning to a very low temperature. Since it was a shared unit, despite our efforts to adjust it, they would constantly change it back to an extremely low setting, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. But again, this is no reflection on the owner, who truly deserves all the praise. Overall, I highly recommend this homestay and truly appreciate the hospitality. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
