Be realistic in what you're getting - a compact room with shared toilets and shared showers and a shared kitchen. The other residents are very friendly and the place is as clean as it will be with so many people using it. There will always be those who don't remove their hair from the shower drain or who'll leave a mess in the kitchen. But that's rare. The location is great and I loved walking down to the bouldering gym and hitting up the foot trucks in the evenings. Internet is great and I got a lot of work done on it. The manager was very easy to communicate with and the place wasn't too loud. By 7am there was construction where I stayed which was facing Hewitt street and this was December 2019. But I got up before that time. Bring sandals to walk to/from the shower. Maybe bring an extra towel because you get 1 towel. The washer dryer downstairs works really well and you can get coins from nearby shops or a bank I suppose. You'll get great internet connection with most carriers in that area - I had T-mobile prepaid and it was solid. No weird smells. Your fridge in the room is great for getting some stuff from the 2 big nearby Asian grocery stores. The beds were not comfortable - twins but more than adequate for me. If you're staying longer consider more breathable sheets since the mattress is wrapped in plastic. There were no bugs anywhere, so the building and the rooms were clean but older, expected wear and tear. Metro nearby was great, $7 fo all day pass.
