Paul's place was great for my stay because I was concentrated on Hollywood for a film festival. I found the walk to be a little strenuous from the Metro Station and adjacent area as I had a bit of luggage so there's that. His greeting is full of details and description of check-in procedures so that's a great plus. Be aware that some streets are pretty rough anymore but that's just life so don't be daunted because his place is so clean and comfortable that any outside influences melt away.
