I never got to meet Jim because our stay was a really quick one. I loved the privacy of this room. The door goes straight to the room. Its not like walking through some parts of the house before getting there. Yes you have your own entrance. Jim dint mind us checking in at 1AM. The room was neat and the so was the bathroom. This is not fancy but cleanliness is perfect. There was this one pillow however that smelled really funny. Won't fuss about that. We just removed it from the bed. The parking in the street though was a pain in the a for us. We arrived almost 1am and everybody in the neighborhood have already found a spot and parked their vehicles. We parked 850 ft away. I know exactly because we googled walking up to the address. If you come early you should be able to get a good spot. I will surely book with Jim again when I go back to LA this June.
