The place is a quick walk away from the red line, and really close to all of Chinatown's restaurants. There's a decent handful of restaurants around here that are open late, which is really convenient for anyone making it back pretty late. There's also a great bun shop open at 7am on the way to the transit if you're needing a quick breakfast.
The neighborhood never felt unsafe at night. It seems the community around him is really cautious of issues, with most places having obvious cameras out to deter criminals. The only concern is the pretty dim lighting on the street he's on, but I still felt safe.
The actual room is a bit tight, which is mostly a concern if you have multiple luggages and bags. He's pretty cooperative, so I'm sure it'd be easy to come to a solution if you're not concerned about everything being in your room.
Dorian was great and gave us less chatty people space. He even mailed me something I left behind, so I was pretty thankful for that!
