The location couldn't be better, it is right across the street from LACMA. Parking was not an issue for me, there were meter parking spots open at night and it was free till 8am on weekdays. It is an old apartment so I could hear the people walking on the floor upstairs but that is typical of an apartment. I didn't hear the next door neighbors at night so who cares. The place smelled a bit funky so I had to leave the window open whenever I could but the place was clean, still 4 to 4.5 stars place.
