Great location -a few blocks walk from the orange line metro bus and good proximity to Hollywood. The neighborhood is residential and fairly quiet but close to the highway and shopping/restaurants. Shaun came to greet us and help with our luggage coming/going. He has a lot of personality and is a very good guy -love all his pictures and cool knick knacks in his room. You can really feel his good energy and spirit in his home. There are a couple of other roomies in the room next door who we rarely saw -I actually only met one of them and she was a doll. Although our door didn't lock, we felt completely safe and didn't worry at all about our things. Lulu the dog is very friendly and well-behaved. She's a good judge of character and will cuddle those who love cuddles and leave the non-cuddlers alone -lol. She stays out of the bedroom unless you invite her. There is a nice cool breeze this time of year that comes through the sliding door that leads to the balcony off the bedroom, so we didn't really need A/C but the apartment does have it. If it gets hot, you can also relax by the pool. I think there is a bbq outside also. The room itself has a tv, reclining chair, desk, queen canopy bed (nice and firm mattress with clean, high quality linens) and a good size bathroom with large soaking tub and a separate shower. I think as budget accommodations go, this is among the better deals for tourists seeking close proximity to Hollywood.
