The positives:

It's something like one of those rooming houses in San Francisco, shared bathroom and all, but nicer than that. It's VERY clean, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was nice, good shower, etc. There are plenty of drawers in the bathroom in which to store toiletries. The common areas are nice, and there's a kitchen on each floor if you want to do you own cooking. There's also a nice courtyard where one can lounge. The folks who stay there are quite international, and very nice. And the price was reasonable.

The minuses:

The use of the word "oasis" is actually quite literal. You are truly in the middle of a desert of nothingness when you're here. There's not even anywhere to walk to in the morning to have a cup of coffee; not even a Starbucks or anything like that. The closest safe neighborhood would be about a mile away, on Wilshire, at the beginning of Koreatown. So if you want to go to a cafe, have breakfast and coffee, etc. you need to get in your car and drive there. You won't want to walk as it's not in one of the nicer areas in LA (a fact that I did not know when I booked it, because I'm not all that familiar with LA). It looks rather like a safe residential area on the surface, but that's deceptive. When I told my friends in LA where I was staying they were concerned and advised me not to park my car more than a block away, because they don't advise walking around there at night. I actually had a rather dodgy experience in a convenience store that was around the corner. I went in to buy a bottle of water, and some local kids came in right after me and got into a scuffle with the guy behind the counter. This was all going on while my wallet was open and I was trying to pay. Very disconcerting. Being more of a night owl myself the neighborhood proved to be an inconvenience, because once I was in for the night, I was in. I didn't feel comfortable walking around there, and even if I had, there was nothing to go back out to anyway. No local deli or pizza joint, or even a drugstore should I have needed anything. There's nothing there.

Also the wifi works fine in the common areas, but if you need to have privacy with your computer forget it, because once you go back into your room the wifi pretty much disappears. So although there is free internet, it's useless in your room. This isn't an issue for everyone, but it's worth noting for those it would affect.

Also although there are fans everywhere, there's no air conditioning at all. So if you can't sleep in ninety plus degree LA heat, don't go during the summer lol!

All in all worth the money, but probably would not do it again.
