The place does the job! Accurately priced for what you get. Do be cautious about transportation; we didn’t realize just how far out you are from Downtown, LAX, etc. 2.5 hours via public transportation if you don’t have access to a car, or aren’t willing to pay major dollars for Lyft/Uber. We would leave pretty early (between 8:30 and 10am) to beat traffic. Look up the stations/stops to be prepared; Google was my friend as it was even more accurate than some rail/metro websites.
Thomas greeted us and showed us to our private room and bathroom (which is shared, if you don’t mind) and we didn’t say much else afterward which was great because it gives you a sense of independence when sharing a home.
The room itself is cozy and equipped with the same things you’d find in a hotel (microwave, refrigerator, fan, TV with cable and streaming services).
As someone who doesn’t live in a major city, I think my definition of clean and California’s differ. The place WAS indeed clean but I wouldn’t go as far as to say it was sparkling, immaculate, or hotel-clean. It was NOT dirty by any means. It just meant that I had shower shoes and wipes on deck for my own sake.
Overall, I’d stay there again as my main objectives were met: cheap yet comfortable, access to TV/cable, and nice host.
A plus: the bed was actually incredibly comfortable. One of the best.
