The location is convenient between MetroRail and bus stops. Across from Little Tokyo which had its highlights! Next door, best ramen and best udon place as well. Great for last minute meals. Place may be harder to spot initially (look for the small sign above).
Stairs only, no elevator. The building has a nice courtyard. I did not explore the other amenities.
Though the room is small, it is still cozy - just make the best out of it! It was clean as well. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, etc.. Unfortunately, my first night, I had no body soap or hand soap. However, the host next day brought additional shampoo, conditioner and of course, the soaps :) Room has a TV that you can access your Netflix account as well. Sofa bed was not the comfiest but it was fine really! Be prepared to set up your bed with linens on first night, there is no room service everyday so make sure to clean up after yourselves like we did!
One odd thing - up until my last 2-3 evenings, it was always quiet but I cannot stress enough how obnoxiously loud it was the last few nights when they were doing the garbage compactors on the other side and it was always at like 2-3AM. Not sure if this is usual? Also, there was always a homeless man that was squishing cans and waterbottles constantly. I know it is not in Mikado’s control AT ALL but maybe pick a different room because this place is genuinely lovely and host was extremely helpful and responsive :)
