Tiger is a very gracious and friendly host who genuinely cares about people. Her loft is unique and filled with all the aspects of her creative life. It might be difficult for some to get up the make-shift stairs to the India room, but it was fine for me. The bed is very comfortable. Perhaps the only recommendation would be for a reading light next to the bed. The bathroom is shared with other roommates in the loft, but was plenty clean. It's in a neat old brick building on the edge of a pretty happening area in LA. However, I only needed a bed. I did not take advantage of the area, I didn't use transportation, etc. because my sister dropped me off and picked me up and we headed out of town, so I can't really comment about that. Great bargain.
