Artist Housing - Los Angeles, California

Destry Cravens

Rented a room for 2 nights but couldn't stay past the first and wouldn't have even stayed then if I could have gotten another place. Arrived later in the evening for check in around 5:20PM for a show at 7PM. Everything seemed okay at first but then had issues with being told that they received no payment from me, even after providing several forms of proof that payment was made, after this someone from managment made the comment of sometimes guests have to pay a remaining balance after arriving but this was reflected no where in the reservation. After talking it over for several minutes they decided to drop the matter until they could look into it further. I assume this issue was resolved at least simce i heard nothing back, but would highly suggest looking into these matters first before claiming no payment has been made and contacting your reservation sites prior to bothering guests with such issues.

After this I left for the show and was gone until 12-1AM, on arriving back I quickly got ready to head to bed as I originally planned on using the next day to do some exploring for my first visit to LA, however quickly found the bed provided to be infested with bed bugs and received bites all over, I left as soon as there was a bus running to the airport around 2:20AM, while on the bus also saw 3-4 bedbugs crawling on my bags, so instead of getting to enjoy my trip visiting, spent the remainder of my time at the airport in order to get home. Highly recommend going elsewhere.

Great and affordable place to stay if you're an artist trying to get on their feet. Lots of like-minded people and plenty of accommodations for getting your artistry done, especially if you're trying to get in on the music industry. Also if you're in the music industry, you're likely to meet a ton of cool folks who are in the same boat as you. Solid place for community and affordability.

Great location, lots of cool people to mingle with from all over. Rooms are big the entire place is a vibe. Also management is pro and attentive to the tenants’ needs.

Bedbugs in most rooms without fumigation, roach infestation in the kitchen, management/RA on drugs, amenities advertised do not exist such as studio, no maid service, there is no vetting of guests therefore not a artist community but a halfway house, you will mostly live with people who are close to homelessness or battling addiction, no internet for months at a time, faulty hot water, witnessed somebody OD on the premises, fights as well as rampant theft among guests, landlord and property management company are unprofessional, it is run shoddily and under the table with informal leases & hiring, Landlord offers expedited return of deposit in return for a 5 star review, ignore them, they are fake reviews. Spend the extra $50 - $100 for a huge difference in quality of living somewhere else, trust me.

p.s as you can see from his response he is a complete slumlord.

Plenty of work space, recording equipment, creative space, and creatives ready to work! Availability for long term stays or short stays!

I spent two months at this house, and I enjoyed it very much. The people that live there are all very friendly, easy to get along with creative types from all over. The location can’t be beat as you are in the heart of downtown LA. I don’t have a car, which makes accessibility  even more important, less than a block away you have Metro and Expo line and many buses. Supermarkets, Bars and Parks are all within 5 minutes walking. If you are new to LA the dorm style accommodations are a great way to make friends and keep the costs low. The house also has quite a few useful amenities. There is an open office space, game room, cinema and gym room. All in all this a great spot! Would definitely suggest for anyone looking for something in this price range.

807 is a really great place to stay at while you’re first getting set up in Downtown LA, it’s clean, the other tenants are really cool. You get the chance to network and discover new found passions. A definite life savor if you’re new to the area!
