Hi everyone !
I want to say thank you in advance to anyone who may help me out with this..
I'm a student who currently lives in London, Ontario.. and I am planning to move to Los Angeles for a month and a half to take a high fashion makeup course at the Cinema Makeup school (Wiltern Theater). My biggest concern is the gangs and the unsafe areas. I have been researching areas a lot but everything is so confusing. I know to steer clear of South Los Angeles. I haven't found a place to stay at yet because I'm unsure of the safety of the location of the school !
The address is 3780 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90010
I have found a few places nearby (hostels, hotels) but I keep seeing the names of some sketchy neighborhoods around these hostels.
Gramercy Place, Academy House, Hayward Manor Apartments, Highland Park Apartments and Mid-Wilshire Apartments,Radisson Wilshire Hotel are some of my options at the moment. I just wanted to know if this is in an unsafe area of Los Angeles and if there are any other safer places around the Wiltern Theatre that I could stay at?
Also, is the Hollywood area safe?
I will not have a car there, so my only means of transportation would be taxi, bus and subway.
I may be silly for over worrying since I'll only be there for a little over a month but I've just read so many bad things about L.A !
Thanks a lot
