The place is exactly as pictured. The shared bathroom was super clean and private, which is a big bonus in any type of hostell type of traveling. I didn't have much interaction with other guests as I had alot going on but they seemed nice. The parking is super tight, but that is better than none which is the norm fir that part of LA. Califa was quuck to respond and great to deal with. if you are OK with shared rooms / hostells this is the best deal you will find in SoCal. Thanks Califa!
