This location is very central in LA and is only a small uber ride to most places or mostly walking distance however we did not walk anywhere at night. The best way to contact the host is through phone call as he does not check emails reguarly so if you're from overseas ensure you get a travel sim card. The room has everything you need including fridge and microwave as well as cable tv air con and shower. How ever the general cleanliness wasn't the greatest and I found the bed quite uncomfortable.
