Very clean. Everything new. The neighborhood is a little isolated but we did not feel unsafe at all. The train is really across the street. We heard it but it didn't keep us awake. Good value. We were able to drive pretty much every place we wanted to go, (beach, LA) within half an hour. Much cheaper and larger than what I saw in LA itself. We visited Huntington Library and gardens. Beautiful. Loved the beach and Hollywood was crazy but fun. We had a great stay.
