Jesse's place was nice, with warm gracious hosts and lovable dog named Django. The room is a clean, no frills place to hang your hat. The area is a decent area in transition. A really great value in L.A. The parking feels awkward (1/2 in driveway, 1/2 into on streetparking), but there were no problems and people park that way every night. I highly recommend if you're looking for a good affordable stay in L.A.
