As others have written, this place is perfect for one person. The main attractions are the affordable price and the neighborhood. You have a lot of good restaurants (and bars, if that's your thing). Walking distance to Echo Park lake (great to stroll or jog around). Elysian Park has some really good hiking trails. There is noise because this is an urban neighborhood, the same reason it's such a fun place to stay. Just turn on the AC and it'll mask it.
