This is a perfect spot to stay as a “jump off” or landing place if you’re visiting LA and will be exploring the city. It’s adjacent to DTLA and Koreatown, and not a far walk from the echo park area and Echo Park Lake which has some hipster shopping and taco spots. Sans traffic, it’s a pretty easy ride out to some west LA neighborhoods like Culver City, Santa Monica, or La Brea.
The neighborhood itself isn’t too much to write home about, it’s safe but I wouldn’t suggest walking around at night if you’re traveling alone as it’s not the *best* area. As a young female traveling solo, I used and would suggest using Uber/Lyft after dark if you’re going to go out, but I felt VERY safe to stay there and I will most likely stay there the next time I visit!
The room was lovely, clean, spacious, had everything you needed and is just as cute as the pictures. There’s a gated entrance and a small communal kitchen if you want to do any heavier cooking, but you have the basics in the room which is nice. Host was lovely, helpful, communicative and shared lots of details ahead of time! Thanks for a great visit!
