LA Homestay

I was staying in at this place for Anime Expo being held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. I stayed 5 nights. I wanted to leave on the first. The room I stayed in had at least 4 cockroaches and 1 spider. The first night, I killed 2 of the roaches and the spider. I then proceeded to stay awake the rest of the night. I wasn't comfortable using the blanket or towels this place provided. One of the nights I came back, I opened the door to my room and hit the light, only to see a roach crawling into the cabinet in the room. Needless to say, I didn't use the cabinet the entire time I was there. That is just one of the rooms. I don't know what you'll find in the other rooms. Another thing is that the bathrooms and the kitchen are very very dirty. I wouldn't even use the microwave in there. And the bathrooms had what appeared to be black mold all over the shower. And there seemed to be a leak under one of the sinks, so if you used it for more than like 30 seconds, water would spill out onto the floor after pooling under the sink. The only upside is the location. It is literally right next to a school, so it feels a little bit safer than the surrounding areas. And its like 3 to 4 miles from the LA Convention Center, so getting there is pretty easy. I guess 60 bucks a night is also a very unbeatable price. If you've got a strong stomach, and need to save some money, then I guess this place will do. If you can afford to stay somewhere else though, you should. The owner was friendly enough, but it was a little difficult to communicate with him due to English not really being his first language. P.S. If you stay there and end up showering in the bigger shower, to make the water warm, you gotta set it to the middle, between the hot and cold settings on the shower handle thing.

Great and convenient location. I will definitely return if I have the opportunity to visit LA again.

Excellent

Nice!!
