I moved to Los Angeles and used this place as interim housing until I found out where I wanted to live in LA. For this purpose, it was a great. But make no mistake, this is essentially a hostel.

Pros
-The metro is literally 2 blocks away. And if you don't have a car, this is the best form of public transportation in LA.
-Little Tokyo neighborhood is safe, and has numerous restaurants and a Japanese supermarkets a few blocks away.
-Alex, who looks over the place on a daily basis, is super nice and helpful.
-The room itself was great.
-Communication with Jay and Alex was seamless
-Bathrooms and showers are cleaned every day and I never had a problem finding an unoccupied bathroom/shower

Cons
-The main negative I can think of is that it was surprisingly noisy. It's right across from a car wash, which plays music quite loud and you can always hear the roar of buses traveling down Hewitt or the Gold line metro arriving/departing the Little Tokyo/Arts District stop. Occasionally, there was helicopter noise as well. But there's nothing that can be done about that.
-The only other negative is that the inside, not including the room I had (227), looks a little run down.

But overall, it's great for the budget conscious.
