I would only recommend this housing for travellers who simply want to find a affordable place to sleep and won't be around staying during daytime.
I came to LA for work and planned to stay here for a week so that I can find a apartment to accomodate. However, I left after the first night.
Lee is a very kind and polite host and always willing to help. Yet, communication and the difference between our expectation are the major problems.
After I cooked my lunch in the first day, Lee came out to tell me that we are not supposed to use the stoves in the kitchen, but there's a portable gas stove at the backyard available, and I apologized for my neglectance.
However, when I tried to cook dinner later at the backyard, he came out saying I cannot just keep cooking at this housing and he actually prefers his guest to dine outside before coming back.
I spent my first day at the property's backyard searching for apartments and had some beer in the late afternoon, which I did ask him earlier if it's ok to drink at the backyeard and he said yes.
But later when I was stopped from using the gas stove, he also mentioned that he actually expects to only provide a place for travelers to sleep at night, and I cannot just sitting here drinking, implying I should either stay in the dorm quietly or try to wonder in the city during daytime.
I ended up leaving after the first night since I was expecting a place to stay and rest but here seems like a guesthouse only for those who are out to work or sightseeing during daytime.
