I didn't know the parking lot was behind the house. The parking was a bit tedious because you need to lock and unlock the gate every time you enter/leave and the parking was quite narrow for an SUV. It was easier to enter with the help of another person. There was a live band next door one night that I wasn't aware of, so it was pretty loud all night. There were also some stains on the bedding and the shower looked a bit old, but otherwise, it was fine for a few nights. and it was convenient to do laundry. The location is close to downtown LA and the Citadel Outlets.
