Really great hostel! It tends to be close to capacity in terms of how many people are living there at a given time, but it never felt like it! The place was very clean, it was easy to get kitchen and shower time, and it the people were cool. If you're into the small communal living thing or you're open to it while you look for another place, I highly recommend staying here!
Bonus: The location is pretty great. It's less than a five minute walk to the nearby theater, several cool spots to grab a drink, several cafes, and a great grocery store. It's also less than a ten minute walk to the nearest metro station, and the rides to downtown LA and Pasadena are under fifteen minutes.
