No frills or thrills kind of space, remember Los Angeles is sky high expensive so this place is good for that budget of yours. I appreciated my own apartment, the privacy and being quite the traveler you develop your own skills to adaept. Their is a sink in the room, so your entire skin care or morning routine can be done in your own room. There is a small face mirror but i think another larger mirror on the wall would heve been the icing on the cake. The building is old so yes the toilet and wash tub facilities have some wear and tear but they are clean and they kept me clean for my stay there. Another feature i liked is its proximity to Little Tokyo, a true gem and worth it for shopping and dining. If walking by Almeida st, the neighborhood might scare you a bit but if you walk towards Japanese Village plaza the area is not too bad. Overall, it was still a great stay for me in Los Angeles.
