This location is great - it's located 5 minutes outside of the metropolitan area of Los Angeles. It's in the Arts District, which has seen some dramatic changes to its old buildings, and there's a lot of chic shops and coffee bars in the area. Also, little Tokyo is only a few blocks away, and there's a lot of options for eating. I would recommend this place for people who need a temporary place while settling into Los Angeles. The room is clean, but it is hot - there's no AC. You can open the window, but be prepared for loud noises. It's next to the metro rail, and traffic is non-stop until around 11-12am. Unfurnished is exactly that: unfurnished. Unless you have an air mattress or a futon, be prepared for a hard wooden floor that's seen better days. I thought I could get by with a blanket and a sleeping bag - don't do it. But the bathrooms are cleaned daily, the roommates are cool people, and all in all, you're really paying for the location. If you need maintenance assistance, ask Alex, the building manager. He can help you out with lost keys, broken equipment, etc.
