I stayed here for a residency interview. It's 7 min away from USC., so really convenient. You will need a car (street parking available). Adreana was a very sweet and considerate host. I stayed in the room with the private bath. There is a space heater available if you get cold. Overall, the space was comfortable. However, the walls are thin and you can hear conversations in the next room but that did not bother me. As for the neighborhood, I was able to grab a delicious dinner at Ciros down the street and run around the Evergreen cemetery for exercise.
