Had a pretty great summer here! Since I am a college student, the shared bathrooms and showers didn't bother me at all (which are cleaned everyday), the place had a dorm feel. Bring extra toilet paper because sometimes the bathrooms run out and that sucks! The kitchen is communal and everyone shares pans and stuff, but I brought a lot of my own things. The fridge is crowded so try to bring your own mini fridge. Alex is super cool and helpful, and he emails you back quickly if you need to contact him. Never saw Jay, he doesn't live there. Place is literally on the border, if not in, Little Tokyo! Such a good location. Btw there are like 5 places to get groceries in the area-ish: the Little Tokyo Plaza Market on Alameda/3rd, Nijiya Market in the Japanese Village Plaza, Marukai Market in Weller Court on Onizuka St, the City Target off the 7th center metro stop, and Food for Less off the gold line metro. You can meet a lot of cool people here; since I was here during the summer on an internship, I was really lucky got to meet people from all over the U.S. and the world who were temporarily staying for internships or on vacation too. The people who are living there long-term mostly keep to themselves and you don't really see them around. The wifi is a little problematic, it really only works downstairs in the kitchen, or on the stairs leading up to the roof. Also I don't really recommend hanging out in the living room area with all the couches.....
