This is a good place to stay if you are traveling to LA. Really close to everything. But not in the best neighborhood. If you are a solo traveler i definitely wouldn't recommend walking alone at night. My friend's dad (who is a retired Sheriff from LAPD) said that the area is mostly occupied by Hispanics, so if you are looking for some dank tacos, they are just down the street!. The apartment was small but really nice, the landlord left us 3 bottle of wine and some coffee. the futon wasn't really comfortable. but overall really good place to stay!
