Mary had been a great friendly host who would make your stay a pleasant one. I arrived earlier than expected; hence the room was not ready as the previous guest had just checked out. Mary did not mind this; in fact she allowed me to leave my luggage and immediately prepared / cleaned the room whilst I went out to have lunch. The room was already clean and tidy on my return.
In terms of location, it was close to the attractions in Hollywood. It had great access to public transport - Hollywood/Vine metro station was just 2 blocks away; many buses passed by the area and the LAX Flyaway bus stop which takes you directly to/from the airport (in an hour for only $8) was a 5 minute walk from the room.
The room was located beside a car-park and near a pub / Hollywood Boulevard - hence it could get a little noisy at night (Mary had already warned about this in the room description). I slept well nevertheless.
Overall, a great place to stay in Hollywood!
