It's in a great location close to Hollywood Boulevard with plenty of things to do. Close to many good restaurants you can walk to. Close to Universal Studios with a short car ride. Not too far from the LA Zoo either. The Walk of Fame is close too. The area seems safe and felt comfortable at night walking with 2 people. The bathroom can probably use a bit of renovating, and does feel a bit cramped. But overall for the price and location, this was a nice deal. I recommend it for people wanting to check things out in the area. Be advised neighbours and people pulling up in loud cars (even at night) can be bothersome. Therefore I recommend bringing earplugs if it's and noise can keep you from sleeping. The host replies back quickly and gave good recommendations. They're helpful and you will get good value overall.
