Very convenient for getting around; the building faces the 405 (though it is not loud inside with the window closed) and is walkable to Japantown restaurants. An added perk: the little unit I stayed in had a private washer-dryer that had been advertised as a shared washer-dryer in the listing, which was clarified upon arrival. The kitchen is plumbed for cold water only, but there is hot water in the bathroom. Many people live in tents around the building, though there were no safety incidents during my three-month stay. Very clean and modern.
