Claudius is a really cool guy who will make you feel very welcome in his house. He's also very helpful if you need any suggestions or have questions - even if he's not around you can always reach him via message.
We really enjoyed our stay despite some minor issues. There were some ants in the bathroom and kitchen as well as in our bedroom. This made it hard for us to store our belongings without having the ants claim them as their own.
The breakfast is not what was advertised, so we had to buy our own bread and eggs. We did have full access to the kitchen to make our own breakfast.
I could recommend Claudius' place to everyone who is traveling on a budget and is looking for a place to stay close to downtown LA. If you do though, make sure you leave no personal belongings out that would be affected by ants.
