This is a great value for the money. I was looking at other reviews, and I think maybe some people don't have a realistic idea of what is standard for what price in Los Angeles. No it's not the fanciest, most immaculate place. But one thing you are paying for here is location. In this part of town, if you want really nice, well equipped, spotless place, for this price point, you can get a room, with a shared bathroom and common spaces. This is a studio, with private bath and kitchen. Yes it's bare bones. It's not immaculate, the kitchen floor was a little sticky when I checked in (from being freshly mopped I assume). But tbh it's still cleaner than my own house. It's perfectly adequate. There are not extra towels, complimentary soaps, etc., but there are all the basics you need for cooking and a hot shower, internet and TV, a comfortable bed etc.. Who this is good for: travelers on a budget who don't need fancy and prioritize location, and people in town to work. Some notes: there is off street parking, very valuable in this part of town, BUT, you have to back in a very narrow drive, with an S curve. I have a mid size vehicle and it was tight. If you have a larger vehicle, it might not be possible. Also, there is no built in heating (not unusual in L.A. in accessory dwelling units like this). There is a portable space heater. It's probably not an issue most of the year, but I happened to stay at one of the coldest times, and that little space heater was barely adequate. I actually ran the stove to get the place up to a comfortable level, once it was warmed up the heater could maintain it. No extra blankets either, so you might want to bring a couple.
