Wat a nice house this is, comfortable and clean, spacious, full of light. And incredibly well-organized and managed, everything labeled and posted clearly, so one doesnt have to bother the hoats with endless questions. Was most impressed by small but thoughtful details, which can turn a hostel stay from just ok to kinda wonderful.

Ex, although the rooms are small, there are abundant hooks, bins, shelves, and lockers in which to store and hang items. The food and kitchens are so well-organized as to apparently never lead to the kind of small food "borrowing" that can cause tension in shared kitchens.

My check-in was smooth, I was able to extend my stay for a night, and was allowed to have a late checkout without any drama. Kellie and Sheila are doing such a good job managing this place that they make it look effortless.

Last, although some guests may feel uncomfortable in the neighborhood, I think it's valuable for travelers to see this part of LA, since the majority of the best LA people live in the not so nice neighborhoods, and the worst LA people live in the best hoods.
It isn't dangerous, it's just your typical mid-to-lower income neighborhood, streets are kinda dirty, no parks,, not much shade or trees. Reliably good taquerias and panaderias, good bus lines. Welcome,to the real LA!

Only issue would be the apparently overtaxed wifi, which was hard to connect to, and unstable once connected. But hosts have invested in the most robust system they could, and while it wasn't all that bad, it was a bit annoying for those of us spoiled by 24/7 wifi.
