The room was exactly what I expected. Furnished: bed w/ no sheets, desk, chair, mini-fridge, closet, and sink. There is a shared living space, shared kitchens, and a few shared bathrooms and showers on both floors. The laundry is shared and coin-operated, but I never had a conflict with trying to do laundry at the same time as anyone else. There are even shared dishes and pots/pans in the kitchen, but I suggest bringing some of your own. Overall, it was what I expected: a low maintenance room for me to sleep in and come home from work, while I was staying in LA for a summer. The greatest downside, SLOW INTERNET. I needed it specifically for work obligations, so this inconvenienced me personally. I would more likely leave and find a cafe somewhere instead.

I moved here to intern during the summer downtown and knew that I would not have a car, so this location was perfect for me to walk to work and home very easily. The location is also very close to the metro, so I could easily get to places throughout the city that way as well. The neighborhood is sweet. The arts district is really sweet, and there are a lot of cool spots in Little Tokyo as well. That being said, just like any urban area, keep your wits at night and don't walk alone.
