Convenient open-bay mixed gender dormitory-style...

Liked: Great location near a major transport hub in downtown LA, in an interesting neighborhood with lots of restaurants and several grocery stores, and priced well below nearly everything else in this area. Comfortable full-size bed, nice to have kitchen facilities. Pleasant staff and quick response via app and text.

Pleasant

Liked: Good location
Disliked: The fact that there is no air conditioning, privacy curtain, outdated bathroom, outdated beds that has way too much gap was a little concerning to me. There are so many things that can be approved on and updated toale the stay more appealing.

Good

No privacy no silence

Liked: Cero intimacy, no curtains on the bes, a lot of noises from outside, it was cold, no door in the bedroom so you can hear anyone that is in the kitchen, restroom.., Too many people in the same space and no privacy even when sleeping.

Acceptable

Liked: Uniqueness
Disliked: Not enough privacy

Exceptional

Very good experience.

Liked: I had originally booked a location next to Union Station but a series of delays with the Starlight Express from Oakland (wildfires, a car on the tracks, a space X launch (we got to witness the launch from the observation deck of the train - so that was cool)) meant I cancelled my original choice and booked this venue instead. It is in a gentrified Arts quarter in L.A. The area looked run down on the surface but once I saw families walking dogs and pushing prams I soon relaxed. The accomodation is a few minutes from the Little Tokyo/Arts District metro station which was great for me to get around the rest of L.A. I'm big into my craft beer and there are a lot of very good quality Breweries and taprooms within walking distance - Boomtown, Arrow Lodge, Angel City and the Arts District brewing company are all worth a visit. The accomodation itself consists of pods which are very comfortable and offers guests a choice of short and long term stays and you can break up payments by day, week or month by cash or card. Access is secure and the beds were comfortable. Lockers and kitchen facilities were available and there was a lounge room to socialise with other guests. I would happily stay here again.

Smelt horrible could not breathe

Liked: Nothing I left after 2 hours of arriving
Disliked: Crackhead sleep outside the door, I arrived at 6am pitch black in sleeping area, used my phone to find floors filthy with other guests dirty clothes. Kitchen nasty. Asked for refund no response.
