Terrific place. People of all ages staying, often for an extended period, to work or attend courses in LA. Without exception, all thoughtful and friendly. Nice relaxing and social corners here and there. However, if you want endless, rowdy drinking games into the early hours, better go somewhere else. The area isn't for wandering aimlessly after dark, but it is central for buses and personally I'm glad I saw some of the city outside the tourist districts and the usual beaten track - somwhere people actually live. Thanks for a great week.
