Young's place was sparkling clean. I was very impressed by the room and shared space. The building must have been recently renovated. The towels and sheets were extremely fresh. It was cool outside when I visited so I was able to sleep with the window open and had no problems at all temperature-wise. The kitchen is well equipped. The washing machine and dryer worked no problem. The check in/out system was also very easy - lock box with combination code. It was not a problem to come and go either early in the morning or late at night. In this way it felt more like a hotel with ample privacy rather than staying in someone's house. There are grocery stores in walking distance, and I walked to USC's campus each morning and evening. It was about a 30 min walk each way. The neighborhood is sketchy, as I understand USC's surrounding area is in general. I made it a point to not walk around much at night. The shared rides with Uber or Lyft were only $5 so I would recommend that for transport around LA at night.
