LA experience
Pros: Easy access to public transportation and they were so thoughtful,wrote down how to find and enter the place.The bed was comfortable.
Cons: At the bed I didn't have any blanket, would have been great. And having curtains at the bed would have given me more safety as a solo travel for the night.

Podshare dtla
Pros: We really liked the location of Podshare and the functionality of the place. It's something different and we wanted to give Podshare DTLA a try as we had seen others that were fairly similar. The bed we had was super comfy and we slept so well. It's convenient and staff were friendly. The podshare provided a variety of electronics, food items, condiments etc which allows you to cook your own food if you need too.
Cons: The bathroom was quite small. There are 2 individual toilets and 2 individual shower rooms. This made it difficult to get dressed without getting your dry clothes wet. Some of the other people were smelly and lacking personal hygiene, such as bad body odor, not showering, dirty finger nails. This Is not podshares fault. But this was something we didn't like. And other people leaving their dirty dishes behind. So we didn't feel comfortable filling up with water as people had left things. If you are looking to meet people, we would suggest that this might not be the place.

A new concept, cozy and comfortable
Pros: The location is walking distance from Union Station, but a bus stops at the nearby corner and is a better option. This unique place is like a hostel but a little different, with beds in a large room arranged for some privacy. Upper beds are mostly reached by stairs instead of ladders, so each bed is like a berth on a submarine, maybe. Upper beds have a wire guardrail across the open side. You can hang a blanket or towel on this for added privacy. It is walking distance from restaurants.
Cons: The location was a little hard to find. The shower looked sketchy, so I skipped it. The walk from Union Station included some narrow sidewalks, obstacles in the path, and deserted streets.

Great Location/Value; Little Privacy
Pros: Good location and great price. Easy to get into. Lot of plugs for recharging. I ended up taking an Uber to Union Station, but you could walk 10-15 mins or take a bus later in the day. Very close to Japan town. The bed is big enough for two people, if you aren't staying too long. Each pod is 12 or so beds, so it's a reasonable amount of people. There is a small kitchen area for reheating food and people leave some food to share community style (e.g., cereal, rice, etc.)
Cons: Simple curtains would be a big improvement. There was a guy listening to videos without headphones - after an hour I asked him if had headphones and he was apologetic. I checked in late and there were no towels visible. Turned out to be a mistake that the attendant should have left a set on my bed, but there wasn't anyone to contact after midnight. The mirror to put on makeup is over the sink, so it can feel rushed. But they had a good hair dryer and other small amenities available.

Distinto.
Pros: Me gustó el estilo donde compartís tu pod. La onda está buena y el lugar es amplio.
Cons: No me gustó la energía de la gente. El personal estuvo perfecto. El problema eran algunos de los huéspedes, poca onda y mala energía. Supongo que eso es random.
