I was very well taken care of by Brian and his family. Although upon first approach, the area and the sort of several small buildings joined together gave me pause, my room was clean and nice with its own bathroom, with a free bottle of water and soap, plus towels provided for me. I shared a kitchen and living space with the kindest female roommates. In the morning, there was free breakfast provided and although there was a car available for me to drive, the USC campus was in easy walking distance. Every step of the way I felt like my hosts went out of their way to ensure my comfort (and safety- there are numerical coded locks on all the doors and gates). If you are looking for an inexpensive place to stay that is walking distance from the campus, I recommend it.
