The host and his roommates were mostly absent physically and mentally=we basically had the place to ourselves which was great, but also meant that nobody cleaned up or took out trash and stuff, which was fine really. I cleaned up all the cigarette butts off the balcony which also has an old, damaged couch and we placed a different air freshener in the room which didn't really change the smell from the initial air freshener. The room is..interestingly decorated with various skateboards on the walls. Bed is relatively comfortable and floor relatively clean. TV has netflix and internet was very fast (for me). Bathroom could have been slightly cleaner and supplied with toilet paper, but I didn't really mind. There's a full kitchen for your use. Good luck finding street parking, especially when you come home late at night. One night I had to park three blocks away and the second six blocks away. There is a ralph's supermarket nearby which doesn't close until 2am. One of the super positive points about this place is that it's nearby Hollywood. Literally a 20-minute walk and you're standing in front of the TCL Chinese theatre or heading down the walk of fame. I didn't really take note of the nearest bus stop because the nearest metro red line (light rail) station is at Hollywood/Highland and getting on this takes you almost anywhere you need to go when using public transit. Uber costs anywhere between $15-25. Overall, this is a great place to stay if you're a dude who needs to stay somewhere affordable in the Hollywood area.
