For my trip I rented a car; try to book it ahead though as the lines at the AVIS were long, and there is no wifi there (so whatever you don't book by the time you leave LAX you pay full price). There is public transportation but being LA is so congested it'll be easier to just drive yourself (there are some parking deals to be had, you can park at a couple lots near HQ for $5-10 all day, and the meters near the school are free from 8pm on). Be careful how long you park at a meter during operating hours, meter maids there are fericious and there's a 2 hr limit at some spots, you can get ticketed/towed or both.
I did an airbnb at a place called Artist Loft by Isa, it's 7 miles or so from HQ so driving time was 15-20 min depending when I left (if I did morning or evening classes). Some folks do the LA jiu jitsu club which is a 45 min drive but it has a pool and mats. THere are hotels too of course, but I imagine you're paying a considerable price.
I'm looking to go back to HQ again for next EBI week whenever that is, or at least by Spring again depending on my work situation and vaca time accumulation. Once you go to HQ you always want to visit again and again :-)
