Dood, the "LA Area" is 150-200 miles around, it can take many hours to get from one side of the city to the other.
You need to list the address or something similar.

BTW: I'm always stunned where I talk to tourists that that really like "Los Angeles" and spend a lot of time "there". Upon further questioning they almost NEVER step foot in the city proper.
They mean Los Angeles to be: Santa Monica, Manhattan beach, Universal and other surrounding cities like Pasadena. Other than a small section in Downtown, West LA and Venice...LA is not a place for outsiders.
