The place was great. Looks as described, equipped well, but feels more spacious than I expected. Edgar was incredibly friendly and extremely hands-off (but very responsive to communications). Super convenient to downtown LA, Central, and Echo Park, easy to access the highway network for anywhere else.

Note that the off-street parking is in a very tight space (it's LA), so if you have a larger vehicle or smaller comfort level maneuvering a vehicle, be prepared to park along the street. That said, I parked a mid-size car without much trouble.

Definitely recommend the place, especially at the price point. Don't let anyone scare you about Hi-Fi. It's a low-fuss neighborhood with some run-down buildings (like all of LA), but the food and people more than make up for it.
