This place is exactly what it seems- a big house with many converted private rooms and shared bathrooms and communal spaces. It's clean enough, but it's no frills- feels like a dorm. But that's exactly what's in the description, so no complaints here- it's a central location with parking at a decent rate. I never used the kitchen, and the shared bathrooms were fine as shared bathrooms go- my only complaint would be that with so many rooms and only two bathrooms, you better get up early if you want to shower. It wasn't always easy getting a free bathroom to use. If you need a simple room to park your stuff at while you're out and about enjoying LA, this fits the bill.
