Mary's spot was great. It was nice to be right in the heart of Hollywood... there's lots to do within a five minute walking distance. The area is very safe, we walked 22 minutes south to Hollywood Forever both nights and we had no concerns. I was fortunate enough to meet Mary while she was cleaning one of the other units. It may feel the space as a lot of rules but I assume its just to keep people courteous as it is close quarters with neighboring rooms.
