What an amazing place to stay! I was spending a week doing a program in Little Tokyo and trying to figure out affordable accommodations. This hostel is safely and conveniently located right next to the heart of Little Tokyo and a mere 10-15 walk from Union Station. I had a little trouble checking but the hosts were very helpful. It is also an easy walking distance from downtown.
There is lots of fresh air coming into the hostel so I felt safe in terms of ventilation. Residents are nice and keep to themselves. Rooms are as described. Bare bones but perfect for people who will be spending time in the city. Next time in LA I will definitely be staying here.
