I had great stay here, many thanks to Jason! I'd definitely book again, no question.
Some of the many fabulous things that I liked about this place:
-Building has a good vibe - fairly uni dormsy but in a positive way. It's a cool old building with character. Nice corridor cats!
-The room is more homely than the photos suggest - I really enjoyed just chilling out there on a couple of evenings.
-Bathrooms are shared use but not at the same time - you've got a locked shower/sink/toilet room to yourself when you're in, and one is just a few steps from the room's door. They're kept clean, the showers are hot, and I never had to wait for either of them to be free.
-Awesome location for all the Hollywood hijinks. You can walk to Hollywood Boulevard.
-There are parking spaces on the other side of the little sports park that have no restrictions at all - look for the diagonally aligned spaces. I think I lucked out, but I bagged a space on that row the two times I tried there. (You can park overnight on the road right next to the building, but just two hours during 8am-6pm.)
-Jason was great with communication. I had no problems, but he was really quick to reply to general messages and asked if I needed anything.
-Very easy check-in and check-out - straightforward lock box.
A potential negative: The walls are thin, so you can hear TV/music/conversations from nearby rooms pretty loudly, occasionally. This didn't bother me as significant noise was rare (and I'm easily niggled by noise, so if it didn't bother me much that's a good sign for sure), and it was quiet through the night. But I guess it's worth noting in case you're planning on recording your podcast here or whatever...
Thanks again!
