Farhad is the nicest person! I had to go to LA at the last minute to see a dying friend and he was very warm and kind (but also respectful and not intrusive). When I asked him where I could walk to get a cup of coffee he said it was a long walk, but offered to make me espresso in his kitchen--or even give me a ride! The space is clean, nice and comfortable. It's not charming neighborhood--it's gritty and urban, not walkable (but of course, he could charge much more if it was), but I would definitely stay there again! No wonder his reviews are all so good.
