Mary’s place is very much like a college dorm - there are multiple rooms along the hall and common bathrooms. We did not see any other guests and did not have any trouble accessing the showers or bathroom. All of it was pretty much what I would expect in Hollywood, it was a bit loud and the alley it was on did seem a bit suspicious but Mary provided ear plugs to use and there are multiple locks that ensure our safety. As for location it is great if you want to walk down to the main Hollywood area and see Chinese theater etc. I think this place is good for its value!
