The front door doorknob was somewhat difficult for me to turn. There is only street parking for cars in what seems to be a compacted neighborhood area.

The location is convenient to public transportation. Also. You could walk to some other places. The accommodations were a bit like sleeping in a treehouse, but I was fit for the adventure of it.

The mattrass is old and dirty and there are lots of bugs and mosquitos.

I like the location of pod shoppe because it is in downtown, and it is easier for me to travel.

location is sketchy at night la in general doesn't seem to be worth a visit, in my opinion shower could be cleaner and stairs are a little dusty

very organized a lot of storage space, even for bulky luggage (but you should bring your own padlock for the lockers)

The environment is somewhat uncomfortable because nobody speaks to you or greets you, in addition to the fact that it smells bad at night and people grab your stuff (happens with my towel, it was drying in my pod and someone changed it to place). I think it would be necessary to have more control to prevent that other people touches your things and more ventilation-cleaning in the hostel.

The location made it quite easy to get to various places because the metro was a 9-minute walk away.

Some guests talking after hours.

Excellent staff! Fairly good location.

The bathroom with shower is disgusting. Needs to be thoroughly deep cleaned. So much mold & mildew from not cleaning well. Weather under 60 degrees but staff had air conditioning on forcing guest to be cold all day & night. Inconsiderate.

Location is convenient to Metro bus & train. Supermarket is one block away.

This was good for what I was looking for.

Obviously there is little comfort and privacy. Little space to put your stuff.

Cool design, very nice beds, a kitchen, pretty good location, but far from the beach.

The drainage area in shower room could be improved! My feet got dirty right after showering which should not happen.

Nice people, stayed with 3 new friends for book release party. Community food. Nice size and comfortable bed.

The guy who runs it is super chill and a kind person. People do wake up at literally 5am on a Sunday to dig around in their stuff, eat, and complain, so you do wake up early and need earplugs. Like most hostels there are people who've been staying too long and feel like it's their house and overstep the boundaries by the way they talk to the really nice manager and how the rules dont apply to them anymore like quiet hours and not making others uncomfortable. I didn't like how the manager was talked to within 10 minutes after I got there. During a very loud argument one of the people who lives there tried to engage him in. He was super chill and didn't indulge in the super petty argument and was just trying to be as accommodating and understanding as possible. I'm sure the guy got what he wanted by being a brat anyway but I feel everyone should pay the same price especially when they shout out for everyone to hear how much they pay compared to a new person on the weekend rate. Everyone should pay the same but they dont. So I like the place and the guy who runs it is so nice his accomidations should get a 10 I only lowered it due to the guests being so noisy at literally 5am. 5am is not a cool time to start digging through your junk and making food so loud yoy are waking people up, and to start complaining out loud at 7am from the one person who throws tantrums. This one person just talks to himself about negative stuff and the place is so small his negative presence was felt. I believe I had a conversation with this person who was whining so much and he told me he beat someone up over a pair of shoes??? Really lame. He was complaining that they tried to make him pay the same as everyone else with stacks of expensive shoes scattered around his bed. Plus he found the time to go out after someone on a holiday to fight them then come back and brag about it.

My Unpleasant Experience and Observations During My Recent Stay Starting off with a bit of humor, like Tiffany Haddish joked, “don’t stay there, I stayed there and I was f*cked by a ghost.” However, my experience was haunted not by spirits but by the poor treatment I received right from the start. When I arrived at your establishment, the staff member who greeted me—without even introducing himself—was overtly rude. His demeanor was off-putting, fitting the stereotype of the dismissive and sassy type who seems indifferent to customer care. More critically, his behavior felt racially charged, which suggested to me that as a Black man, I was not welcome. It was my birthday, and yes, I had been drinking, but I was composed and quiet, hardly the disruptive guest. I was merely looking for a peaceful place to rest after deciding against driving back to Riverside in my condition—a choice made in the interest of safety. Despite this, the reception I received was anything but welcoming. The lodging setup, with its cool bunkbeds and queen beds, was the only aspect that met my expectations. The next morning, after trying to catch up on rest from a night out, I encountered the same staff member whose continued rudeness was now compounded by the discomfort of an overly warm building without air conditioning. When I politely inquired about the possibility of using a fan—after noticing him dismissively tending to his nails and not acknowledging my presence—he responded with an eye roll and a reluctant gesture towards a fan in the hallway. This interaction was starkly different from what I observed with another guest, a Japanese man, who received warm, engaging conversation from the same staff member. This difference in treatment only reinforced my perception of racial bias, as it was clear I was being singled out. Standing at 6 feet 7 inches with a presence I carry with pride, I could not help but feel targeted for the color of my skin.

The one aspect of this property that met my expectations was its location, which was ideally situated for my birthday celebrations.

No hot water. I'm from NY so I don't know if it was just me not knowing how to operate the shower water temperature or what. But I loved the place.

Bed was comfortable and the place was safe. Staff was phenomenal. Quiet and Clean area. Staff was ready to answer all questions.

Not recommendable at all. Very rude staff. Disrespectful. No manners! I think staff (Mikel) needs anger management training. He really needs one!!!

Podshare los Feliz is one of our favourite locations why because it’s just so inviting one of the best and it’s not crowded like others this one has a good feel

First time in Podshare, was so fun. Very convenient kind of accommodation option whether short term or long from what I saw. Great and helpful staff, I saw them clean the place every day too.

I am 80, have mobility issues, and had difficulties getting into bed the first night. I asked for and was provided with step stool to allow easier access to my pod the next day which made rest of stay much easier.

Delightful and wonderfully helpful "innkeeper" Michael, very comfortable mattress, enforced quiet hours and respectful other pod occupants, and the very user friendly electric outlets and dimmer light switch.
