Not as close to DTLA as expected, BUT... conveniently central location between DTLA, Echo Park, and other parts of LA. Fast Lyft / Uber ride to most parts.
Lots of stairs, so beware if you're bringing a large suitcase. I didn't mind the exercise.
The bedroom and bed were very comfortable and clean. Stayed at a very comfortable temperature all day.
Very nice family. Friendly, and always on-location but also respectful of your space. There was no discomfort or awkwardness at all.
Their dog, however, did NOT like me at all. He was pretty aggressive and had to be held anytime I walked through the common area. Made it a little bit of a gamble whenever I was getting ready to head out. I made it a habit to loudly say "helloooo" anytime I was heading out or in, so they would know to grab him. Luckily, they were all very diligent about keeping him at bay.
Overall, well-priced and a good place to crash for a couple of days while visiting LA.
