This place is just fine. It’s a residential hotel and the residents were all friendly artist and musician types. One neighbor, Steve was very cool and interesting and had local tips and ideas.
The place is an old SRO building. If you ever had some mid century beatnik type of romanticism, if you’re a minimalist needing a place to crash, if you don’t mind the opposite of fancy but not quite grimy, if you’re comfortable around alternative people this place will do just fine.
Things you may want to bring: soap/toiletries, towel/washcloth, slides/flip flops for shower and bathroom runs, sweats also for that. A Bluetooth speaker. Coffee plan
The bed is fine, they wash the sheets with Gain or heavily scented detergent which my skin hates.
The neighborhood is cool af. Little Tokyo has a little shopping center and tons of bangin ramen and sushi and ice cream spots. Easily walkable thru DTLA and to transit. Central for cheap ride shares.
