I really thought other reviewers were exaggerating but they weren't. The rooms are spic 'n span and I wish whoever does the cleaning could come to my house... Room even has an outlet for USB charger. I was traveling with my 15 - year old daughter and we never felt unsafe in the neighborhood. We walked down the street at night to get some food (I should mention I used to live in LA and am a big city girl). The location is pretty central but please keep in mind LA traffic. Double or triple best case scenario driving times. Andy is super friendly and accommodating and clearly cares about his guests. This place is a great bargain! Please don't hesitate to stay here. We will definitely come back!
