The place was very conveniently located right off Hollywood Boulevard and within walking distance to many 'tourist' spots, stores and places to eat. The room was comfortable and the shared facilities were kept clean (I felt fine walking through the hallway, kitchen and shower/bathroom barefoot despite it being shared as it was clean during our stay).

Mary was really good with communication and she would message clear instructions before arrival and would reply to messages about the local area if needed. It was nice to meet her a few of the days as we were going out and she was preparing a few other rooms.

The area can get quite noisy and the street was busy during weekend nights etc but it was expected being right in Hollywood and we were out alot of the time so it didn't affect us. The people we did interact with on the street didn't try to cause any trouble and were quite friendly.
