The hottest of hot water showers. If you like a hades-like water temperature this is the place. *Chef's kiss* The water pressure as well. A relatively diverse bunch of other travelers with which there was some great conversations...everything from restaurants recycling oil from the late 1800's to the specific technique of tattooing a more solid line on someone.
There's a health food tienda/café about 7-11 minutes by foot. Bought a bag of sugar for around 5 bucks.
Plenty of seating outside as well as inside. The beds are very comfortable. The setup is bunk style but with small staircases I cut between the bunks. So, unless you're quite limited with mobility it's no problem getting to the top bunk.
I think I saw small lockers apart and away from the sleeping area. I didn't use them and my bag with laptop etc. was fine with some proactive steps (not leaving it wide open and inviting eyes).
I think my favorite was the painting in the lobby...a strong message that fits the motif of the Pod Share imo.
I may be home a hosteller.
Amazing clean safe very close to everything that you need to be next to transportation coffee shops restaurants of course the Venice Beach Boardwalk I would recommend this place for anybody to stay if they were passing through town

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Even though I paid for 2 nights stay in advance, after first night of stay, I went out during the day and when returned in the evening for second night stay, I found someone moved my bed thinking I checked out. The front desk apologized and explained someone made the mistake.
WiFi was excellent.
Cable was not working in TV area. But watching dvd movie was hard because TV's sound was not working. But someone at front desk came and fixed the problem after 45 minutes.

As skinny as I am, the toilet was too tiny to conveniently use or sit. I am sorry for people with opposite body sizes.
