Mary's place is very close to everything. The Metro is only a 5min walk away and takes you to lots of different areas of LA easily. It is also a short walk from the main section of Hollywood Blv - walk of fame, Chinese theatre etc. I like how honest Mary was about the noise factor as it does get loud at night with a club on one side of the building but it didn't affect us as as we are always so exhausted after a day of exploring. Mary is very fast with her replies and went the extra mile for us. Best first experience using AirBnb! Will certainly try it again. The private rooms are fabulous and although you share the bathrooms we never had to wait around for the shower as everyone seemed to have different schedules and there are two toilets which was great because even if someone was using the shower you could still use the bathroom if needed ;-) loved our stay so much we booked in for an extra two nights :-) Thanks Mary
