Freehand is just a lovely building in general. The staff are phenomenal too, everyone working here is so nice, and the security guard went above and beyond to help me find my lost sunglasses. Both the coffee shop and the rooftop bar are excellently decorated, and the coffee and drinks are both creative and tasty, although quite expensive. I suppose that's par for the course in LA, though. Six stars for free refills on regular brewed coffee! I do wish you were allowed to bring your own food to the rooftop, since the Broken Shaker menu was a little out of my budget. The hostel rooms served their purpose, the bathrooms were outstanding in terms of cleanliness, props for that. Just know that the 8-bed hostel rooms don't separate by age groups. One area of improvement is that privacy curtains in each bunk would be a nice touch, but we were able to use bedsheets to make a makeshift curtain. Overall, for the value, Freehand LA is an absolute gem, and I'd recommend it as an option to anyone needing a budget-friendly place to stay in LA.
