Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Mary personally, but she was very communicative and helpful during our stay, so we were glad we could stay over at her place. It is located at a side street of the Hollywood walk of fame, so every touristic attraction was in a short walking distance. Room was exactly as described and actually very spacious. The place itself could be best described as a good hostel, since you have to share the bathrooms with other guests, but the rooms itself were a plus over other hostels I have been to. We had a good stay!
