This place was great. Not knowing LA at all, I just chose it based on it's cheap price for a hostel style 8 person rooms. The common areas are very nice, the roof top is great on a sunny day, and the rooms are funky and comfortable. If I had to give any constructive criticism- there weren't any towels for me anywhere. I heard from other guests they were in each locker when you arrive so I'd imagine other guests just used them. I had my own towel so it wasn't a huge deal, but a few more towels in the shared bathroom would have been nice.
Food in this area is great. Lots of food trucks, bars, etc. There's TONS of cheap parking near by. I found parking for $10 a day only a block or two away. Use the SpotPro app to find and book your parking in advance.
The staff was all super friendly, helpful, and polite. Really only good things to say about the Freehand. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in LA.
