The neighborhood is painfully hip, location is close to many places to eat and drink as well as transit and freeways. The pictures were of a different room, the host immediately took the conversation to gmail, keys in an exterior lockbox, so overall not the most confidence-inducing. Walls were quite thin, there was a concert going on in the area till after midnight Saturday that I could easily hear through my window because it didn't close. Basically a dorm. Would stay again, for the price.
