The location of mary's place is excellent. The communal areas are always clean and well managed. Mary is very friendly and well organised. She sent instructions to enter the property as we arrived late and it was easy to do. The rooms are comfortable and the communal bathroom and kitchen give a great vibe for yonger people to meet and say hi. Parking in LA is expensive but you can park over night nearby in secured car park or by a meter, just be prepared to get out early to start your day to avoid too much parking costs.
