Guest Reviews
- Chandrakant (8/5): -
- Bhavesh (6/5): -
- Darcy (7/5): 50/50 - Great location Not clean hard to park floors no insulation could hear people walking around all night very bad sleeping.no tv as promised
- Edward (3/5): Not worth the savings. I was locked out, no one to call. - You changed the gate code on me without notification and my room was unsecure the 1st day because the batteries died in my room lock. This walls, little water pressure and no phone number to speak to anyone. I would not suggest staying here.
- Le-anne (1/5): I want my refund - Nothing! I left after the first night! I want my refund. The amenities were not as described. No TV, no aircon, no heating, no hairdryer and a guest who continued to harass me for money I left after the first night! I want my refund. The amenities were not as described. No TV, no aircon, no heating, no hairdryer and a guest who continued to harass me for money
- Indraneel (10/5): Great value for the price! - It's great value for the price, in the midst of a very expensive city. Clean room, decent neighborhood, good wifi. Could provide a thicker and bigger blanket, especially for us tropical people.
- Debora (7/5): Great price with some minor inconveniences. - The location is close to USC and a metro station, about a 20-minute walk - which was very useful to me, as I used the metro to get to work every day. The price is great for the cleanliness and for being in LA. It has a washing machine and dryer in the apartment, so that came in-handy for someone like me who didn't pack a lot and had to do laundry. The kitchen was very clean, so it was nice having the microwave to be able to heat up food and the fridge to store it. The lock on the bedroom door was great, so I felt safe leaving my stuff there when I was at work. The walls are very thin, so I could hear the guests in the other rooms laughing or arguing. The internet on the 4th floor was weak, so it was hard to work from home. My room was on the 2nd floor, and I had heavy suitcases, so it was hard to lug everything up 4 floors. The bed and pillow weren't the most comfortable either, but not terrible. For the price point, all of these are minor inconveniences, just things to keep in mind. It has a lot of Airbnb rules, so keep that in mind. As long as you're willing to follow the rules, and keep in mind that you're getting a very clean and new place for cheap, you should be fine.
- Jasper (10/5): I love the place very clean - Love the quiet and sensory environment N/a
- Aico (10/5): -
- Hanna (7/5): It was okay for those on a budget but if you are a woman alone I would recommend spending the extra $20 to stay somewher - the price point is exceptional and overall the bed was comfy, the closet provided a lot of space, and the bathroom was renovated. If I remember correctly it was about 2-3 floors of stairs before you reached the floor that is accessible which can be a hassle if you’re unfit. The bathroom provided only 1 roll of toilet paper for a 3 night stay which was unfortunate. There seemed to be a few people living in the hotel/hostel as the fridge was packed to a brim and we could barely fit any food in. I never talked to any owner or housekeeper and the only time I saw people was when I was exiting and entering my room in which most cases I was met with the stink eye from the patrons who seem to be living in the hotel full time. This made the living room pretty inaccessible to me and my girl friend as the patrons were often fighting with their partners and such, which made for an uncomfortable situation. Throughout the night it was mostly quiet besides getting awoken one night at 4 am by 2 lady’s going at it in I’m assuming the street or walkway to the hotel. Definitely draws in a sketchy crowd and I would appreciate if the property managers would check in more often to ensure the safety of all. Parking was also a hassle and we had to park on the busy road 50% of the time about a block away.
- Thiago (1/5): Nightmare - nothing The building was dirty, with hair, hair, and dust everywhere. The room was full of long hair, the floor had crumbs, and the bedsheets appeared poorly washed or not washed at all. There was a lot of noise, with people doing laundry in the middle of the night. The doors are extremely noisy, and the electronic locks are excessively loud.
The neighborhood is terrible — it felt like a war movie.
The place attracts the wrong crowd. I could hear people having sex, people coughing and spitting all night. I barely slept. It was a nightmare.
- Jessito (5/5): - The place is nice and comfortable The stove was dirty. There were dirty dishes that nobody washed for weeks. The room was clean but the stairs and the rest of the house was not.
There were people sleeping in the sofa and I told the managers about this and they never did anything about it

- Amelie (1/5): - nichts Die Unterkunft war ein absoluter Albtraum. Die Küche und alle Räume waren extrem schmutzig, unhygienisch und einfach widerlich zu benutzen. Es stank im gesamten Apartment, alles war in einem völlig unzumutbaren Zustand.
In der Küche standen altes, dreckiges Geschirr und Essensreste, die stark gerochen haben. Der Müll wurde nicht entsorgt, der Kühlschrank war von außen verschmiert und klebrig, und es gab kein einziges sauberes Besteck oder Geschirr. Der Backofen war defekt und hat dreimal den Feueralarm ausgelöst – die ganze Wohnung war voller Rauch.
Der Host reagierte kaum oder gar nicht auf unsere Nachrichten. Sie ging nie ans Telefon und schickte immer nur dieselben, offensichtlich kopierten Antworten, ohne auf unsere mehrfach gesendeten Fotos und Beschwerden einzugehen. Sie behauptete sogar, wir hätten ihr nie etwas geschickt – obwohl wir zahlreiche Beweise hatten.
Wir können diese Unterkunft unter keinen Umständen empfehlen. Wer hier bucht, riskiert Schmutz, Gestank und eine völlig ignorante Gastgeberin. Für uns war das eine absolute Katastrophe – nie wieder!
- Ricardo (10/5): It was good - It was very clean and quiet, it was good. The car parking , not enough parking available.
- May (7/5): Worth the price:) would stay again! - Love the kitchen access. The room was nice for value as well. The bed wasn’t the best. It creeks and moves a lot even if I just get up there.
- NISRINE (8/5): -
- Julio (1/5): Sucked - Nothing place is horrible Located in a horrible neighborhood no parking space once I found the location had a hard time accessing the room other guests were so loud in the middle of the night
- Diane (10/5): Great value and amentities! - Nice, clean common area and room. The gate to get into the property was deactivated by another resident, so it was difficult to get into the property, but the management was responsive and fixed it.
- Jon (1/5): Worst experience of my life !!! - This never was allowed
Communication was non existent, the area is unsafe and while I was being harassed by homeless people, nobody answered or helped with my safety
This is the most horrible dealing ever
DO NOT TRUST OR STAY HERE
YOUR LIFE MAY BE AT RISK!!! No communication, still charged for not staying
Homeless everywhere
Disgusting, unsafe no management to help
- Riccardo Chianella (3/5): Disappointed - I think we shouldn’t normalize such bad accomodation for such a ridiculously high hotel-like prize. This a room in a college dorm with cheap Temu furniture. The location is very sketchy/bad, the bed is extremely uncomfortable.
- Riccardo (8/5): -
- Riad (10/5): Absolument magnifique - Absolument tout Absolument rien
- Elizabeth (9/5): - me gusto la habitacion, era pequeña pero muy limpia y comoda, el vecindario muy calmado. la anfitriona te facilita la llegada, muy amable y atenta el vecindario a pesar de que era muy calmado, se pone muy oscuro por las noches, le falta iluminacion a las calles. la habitacion esta en el ultimo piso, era cansado el subir tantas escaleras al final del dia, pero no hubo problema por eso
- Kayden (9/5): -
- Carlos (9/5): - Great facilities Common areas could be bit more clean
- winny (7/5): -
- Travelgirl875 (6/5): - La ubicación, que era amplio y podías cocinar allí Que estés 5 noche y tengas que usar las mismas toallas..
La gente no respeto horarios, salto la alarma de incendios 2 veces porque cocinaban con humo y a deshoras
- Joseph (5/5): I will look for other options for my next visit to USC. - Location was reasonably close to USC campus. Facility was clean. I had to climb up to the 4th floor to my room. Hall lights were off one time, and it took a while to find a light. For safety, hall lights should go on when someone is near stairs. There was food in the breakfast area, but no person, and no written explanation of whether the food was from other clients or available for anyone.
- Rosemond (9/5): -
- Angela (8/5): -
- Victoria Antle (10/5): A gem in Los Angeles. - And excellent value for a very nice stay. The room was spotless, and very large. The bed was very comfortable and the private bathroom was great. The communal areas were clean, lots of plates and cups and bowls in the cupboards, as well as pots and pans available. It was super nice to have the washer and dryer ( with detergent) available to use. Excellent stay! Everything was great!
- Marième (9/5): Amazing stay, we loved everything. We would come back again! - Everything is so clean! We loved everything! Our best deal.
- MINAKO (4/5): 治安が悪く、外出は必要最低限で済ませた。 - 清潔 ⚪︎予約時、エレベーターが無い事が明記されていなかった。
⚪︎窓が開かず、虫が入ってきても外に出せなかった。
⚪︎エアコンのような送風設備がセントラルコントロールで、自室で調整出来なかった。
⚪︎滞在期間中、3-4回、アラームの誤作動があり騒々しく不安だった。
- Rodrigo Alonso (6/5): No está mal - Este alojamiento ha estado bien pero quiero concretar un poco más nuestra experiencia aqui en Los Angeles.
Las habitaciones al llegar estan limpias y tienen un baño privado, con ducha, el agua sale caliente rapido y la cama tiene sábanas limpias, 4 cojines y edredón. La manta que incluyen también se agradece. En el baño hay una ducha pequeña pero va perfecta y en el mueble del baño hay champús, un secador y demás cositas, entre ellas bolsas de basura para el cubito del baño.
Las instalaciones comunes son nuevas, muy muy nuevas y se nota. La cocina está equipada con horno y fogones, hay tostadora, cafetera de filtro, calentador de agua y microondas. El fregadero es grande y también es nuevo. La cocina es también la zona de comedor. Hay un sofá y una mesita pequeña. En la zona de cocina está la mesa grande. Hay 2 lavadoras y 2 secadoras para usar cuando quieras y jabón de ropa. La estancia ha estado bien ya que no buscábamos lujos solo un lugar donde dormir con privacidad y con baño de uso exclusivo.
Este alojamiento va bien si no quieres estar mucho rato por ahí dentro y lo que necesitas es algo económico para dormir y tal vez desayunar y cenar.
En lo que respecta al parking hay que estar atenta a las señales de limpieza de la calle pero no són horas tempranas por si necesitas dormir hasta tarde y cada calle tiene su día, hay que mirarlo detenidamente pero es viable aparcar aún llegando a medianoche, no en la misma calle pero si muy cerca a 3/4minutos andando como máximo. Ahora bien... vienen los puntos negativos, que de antemano ya sé que no es todo responsabilidad del manager sino que los huéspedes no cumplen las normas y la gente es muy sucia y asquerosa:
Todo estaba genial hasta que tuvimos que dar aviso al segundo día ya que (repito) la gente es muy muy sucia. Vimos como otros huéspedes metían cosas en la basura que ya estaba llena y chorreando. Al día siguiente alguien vino a cambiarlo y a dar un repaso a la cocina porque estaba sucia de usos de otras personas, repito, MUY SUCIAS.
Han pasado 15 días y ya nos hemos ido y NADIE ha venido a limpiar las zonas comunes a fondo, a barrer o a fregar el suelo. Evidentemente el suelo está MUY SUCIO y nadie se hace responsable ya que en las normas se supone que es de todos y hay que tener cuidado de los espacios (con lo que estoy completamente de acuerdo), pero considero necesario que se haga responsable alguien de limpiar suelos y sacar la basura común al menos una vez a la semana. Nosotras hemos sido las que más tiempo hemos estado y han pasado mínimo 10 personas diferentes que quieran o no, ensucian, por muy cuidadosas que sean.
Cabe añadir que la alarma de incendios es extremadamente sensible ya que de poner el horno 5 minutos a calentar, se activó y no podíamos pararlo, un huésped se asomó y nos ignoró aún viendo que estabamos en pánico porque jamás habíamos oido nada así. Al intentar contactar con alguien ya fue tarde porque nosotras mismas lo conseguimos parar, la mejor solución que me dieron es que no quemase la comida y que pusiera la campana extractora al cocinar (yo ya expliqué que no se había quemado nada de nada).
- Erika1992 (4/5): Stanza per chi non ha pretese - Cucina in comune attrezzata. La casa era sporca, con residui di capelli e cibo sulle scale e nelle zoni comuni.
Al nostro arrivo abbiamo notato che gli asciugamani erano sporchi, tuttavia il giorno dopo, dopo nostra richiesta, ce li hanno cambiati. La cucina era in comune ma, non viene specificato che sono presenti altre 7 camere, con altrettanti ospiti!!
La stanza era piccola con solo una scrivania ed un piccolo armadio. Il bagno un po' datato. Materasso a molle scomodo e piccolo (1 piazza e mezza).
La camera a noi assegnata si trovava alla fine di tre rampe di scale, rendendo scomodo il carico e scarico delle valigie.
Difficoltà a trovare parcheggio nelle strada e nelle vie limitrofe.
Zona non consigliabile per un turista durante la notte.
- Che (1/5): Human hair on bedsheets and pillow Yikes! - Human hair on bedsheets and pillow
Yikes! Human hair on bedsheets and pillow
Yikes!
- Sam Samuel (6/5): Für den Preis Okey, würden es aber nicht wieder buchen, Umgebung nicht schön - Preis, minimalistische gute Einrichtung, eigenes Badezimmer Extrem hellhörig, man kann jedes Wort, jeden Schritt der Nachbarn mithören, extrem laut und störend, Ruhezeiten wurden nie eingehalten, Küche meistens dreckig hinterlassen, Müll überfüllt
- Yiwei (5/5): - There was def flea on the mattress….. and the mattress is so soft and so bad my backpack is so painful
- Riki (9/5): -
- CEBRIAN (7/5): Charmante chambre dans une maison neuve et sécurisé. - La chambre est vraiment top tout est neuf et propres. Les équipement sont les meilleurs du marché. Gros coup de cœur pour la tour lave linge sèche linge ultra silencieuse et rapide. Je trouve que le règlement est imposant quand même… pour des parties communes poser ces chaussures à l’entrée, ne pas fumée dans la cour extérieur…
Le quartier est pas trop mal desservi, cependant la nuit.. en tant que femme seule je me suis déjà fait suivre donc faire attention. De nombreux SDF aux abords qui vous réclament de l’argent…
Après ça reste un quartier de Los Angeles 😉
- Oscar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robert (7/5): Good - Clean, spacy, modern, big and well-equipted kitchen and dining room. It is far away from everything, not a safe and clean neighbourhood. There is no fridge and tv in the apartman, the bed mattress is uncomfortably tender, you could not control the aircondition, which it is central. You have to use three different code to access the apartmen.
- Alişan (10/5): 1 week LA - Almost everything.The room and bathroom was super clean , common places are very new and fresh painted. All furniture were new and the kitchen was well equipped. The entry was super easy, and neighbourhood was relative safe and quiet. I have read on here parking could be a little bit hard , but have found always park spot very easily. Also the price/location balance is amazing . Communication with the host are super easy and they answer immediatly.if you have a car , super room to stay. If we go to LA again we will definitely stay here. I read that there was air conditioning in the rooms and I specifically asked about it via message, but unfortunately there was no air conditioning. There was something like a ventilation system and it worked automatically in some situations and it never worked while we were there. Other than that, everything was great.
- Bagrat (10/5): Great find! Find it - book it, don’t miss it! - Sophia’s rooms are clean, cozy, and truly make you feel like home. All amenities worked perfectly, and the location was very convenient. There’s even a small electric broom to tidy up your room with, which is SO helpful when you’re staying longer. We’ve stayed here a few times already - it’s that good! Some guests just assume whatever’s in the cabinets and the fridge is up for grabs. Perhaps labeling the cabinet spaces by room numbers would help with that.
- Nguyễn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yuliya (8/5): Good apartment - Good new apartment. Location is okey, but car is recommended. Kitchen area contains all you need. Bed should be fixed, makes a lot of noise. Thin walls
- Adrian (8/5): Very good -
- Kirby (8/5): Very good - I been to other properties in the area and this one was clean and quiet.
- Bulelwa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lesly (10/5): Quiet cozy place - Good location, clean and beautiful, kitchen nicely accommodated with a fridge and stove. Rooms comfortable and clean. Free Laundry stations in each floor. No parking
- Marcell (9/5): Superb - Location, price, comfort. Parking is a challenge…
- Rachael (5/5): Don't recommend for those over the age of 30 unless you want to wake up with back pain - Price was great, had no issue with the communal spaces, and directions on accessing the building and room were clear. But FYI. In case you also missed it based on the listing - this is more along the lines of a hostel with private rooms, not a hotel/bnb/apartment type place.
Bare bones room was fine given the price, but I did have some issues, most small, but one very large one. The bed. The bed was absolutely horrendous. The mattress was maybe 8 inches thick, and felt like it started folding in half when you sat on it. The quality of the mattress was so bad that I slept poorly the entire night and by the morning my back, neck, and shoulders hurt so badly that I actually cut my trip a day short and returned home that day. These units appear to be intended for college students, so if you are young and spry, this maybe won't be an issue for you, but if you are over the age of thirty or have any back/neck issues, I strongly recommend staying away from this place.
The sheets were another issue. There was a see-through fitted sheet, but there was no flat sheet, just a comforter that I doubt is washed in between visits.
While the larger building does appear to have AC, the thermostat was in the hall on one of the floors, so you really are at the mercy of whatever it is set at. So don't expect to be able to really control the temperature in your room. My room was the top floor so definitely a bit stuffier even in April, and had to leave the windows open, which was fine, but the city is loud. Also, no fan or anything in the room for air circulation or white noise.
Common spaces were generally clean which was nice, but the kitchen needs some upkeep. Mainly, it needs some more supplies like sponges, paper towels, or dish towels. The sponge in the sink looks like it is a year old and there were no others to be found anywhere. It appeared that most people were handfasting their plates and utensils with that grody old sponge which makes me think that even though the dishwasher and utensils were washed they were not actually clean.
Last issue - this appears to be a property management type thing, and based on the grammar in the notes I saw in the house, kinda feels like an overseas management company.
- Amina (8/5): Very good -
- Wasif (8/5): Great facility on budget - It's a good facility for a short n long stay. The kitchen facility as well as laundry is there too.
Hard time finding it first time since Google maps location is one street away from where it actually located. Use the address to reach the facility instead.
- Michael (7/5): Good - solid room for the price, enjoyed the complementary soaps kitchen was nice bed wasn't very comfortable, and I would have liked the ability to control the temperature of my room more
- Tia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jenni (7/5): Good - Clean. Comfortable if a little sparse. Check in info came late... while I was travelling! I thought I had to pay as the property, but it was all code access. I wouldn't have picked this option had I known before. Its too hard with international travel.
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ronan (4/5): Well below par - The price was good and the property was new with washer and dryer to use. The matress, sheets and pillows were cheap and uncomfortable. The walls and floors are paper thin, I heard people talking in the next room next to me and the room above me. I could hear every time the person upstairs walked and was worse when they were heavy footed. The property has 6 rooms, so there are 6-12 people banging cabinet doors, stomping up and down stairs, and slamming doors. I literally slept 3am - 7am everyday. That was the only quiet time. I'd never stay here again. No one is on property to kick people out or regulate noise.
- Tia (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (8/5): Very good - Fresh new building, very clean, not luxurious but perfect for budget traveler. Secure suite in a three room apartment shared with other guests. Street parking was manageable.
