Not recommend for females or students. Strong smell of drugs when entering the front door. Sound isolation is so bad that you will feel like others are entering your room when they are actually opening or closing their doors. Plus, there is no hairdryer and other basic items for teeth and hair cleansing, though there are lots of food in the refrigerator. The host won't see your messages unless you call her. To sum up...there are loads of places and apartments in LA better than this spot in any aspect: safety, convenience, quality of the environment or price, and living in Hollywood can't offer you any of these. Many crazy people, frauds, and homeless people. You have to be careful even go visit there. I'd rather live in downtown LA than Hollywood because at least downtown has more nice restaurants.
