Overview and location
2649 Ellendale Pl is a residence located in Los Angeles, CA 90007, within a neighbourhood that also contains other student-oriented housing. The property appears to operate partly as a hostel-style accommodation, based on multiple verified guest reviews, while its listing describes unit types as three‑bedroom (3B) and apartment. The building offers controlled access, TV, and parking (tagged as “parking”). An additional tag – “not_available” – indicates that the property may currently have no vacancy, so prospective residents should check real‑time status directly.
The property sits near several major university campuses in Los Angeles. Street‑level amenities such as restaurants and shops are within walking distance, as noted by guests. The area is described as safe and walkable.
Who this residence suits
2649 Ellendale Pl is best suited for individuals looking for short‑term, hostel‑style accommodation in a secure environment. Guest reviews highlight that the property provides private rooms (including private bunkbed rooms) alongside shared facilities like showers and restrooms. This setup works well for:
- Travellers or temporary visitors who need a base for a few nights while exploring the city or attending orientation.
- Students who want a low‑commitment option before securing a longer‑term lease elsewhere.
- People who value a drug‑free environment – one reviewer specifically praised the “no compromise on discipline” and noted that the hostel is “drug free”.
- Those who appreciate daily housekeeping, free breakfast, and free hot drinks, all of which are mentioned in multiple reviews.
The property also offers a label system for personal food items, which helps reduce confusion in shared kitchens.
Who might want to look elsewhere
This residence may not be suitable for:
- Tenants seeking a traditional private apartment or a full‑lease multi‑month rental. While the listing mentions “3b” and “apartment” unit types, the dominant character of the building, based on user feedback, is that of a hostel. If you need a whole apartment for yourself or a group, you should confirm directly with the operator that such units are available and meet your expectations.
- People requiring immediate move‑in. The “not_available” tag suggests that the property may have limited or no current vacancies. You should verify availability before planning your stay.
- Groups who prefer fully private en‑suite bathrooms. Reviews indicate that bathrooms and restrooms are shared among guests, though there are multiple facilities.
- Anyone who needs a clear, fixed monthly rent. The listing does not provide a minimum or maximum price, making it difficult to compare upfront without contacting the operator.

Price positioning vs city from‑price
The city‑wide starting price for student housing in Los Angeles, as listed on the same platform, is $725 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). However, 2649 Ellendale Pl does not display any price data (min_price and max_price are both null). This means:
- The property may price its rooms on a nightly/weekly basis rather than monthly.
- If rooms are rented by the bed (hostel‑style), the monthly equivalent could be lower or higher than $725 depending on nightly rates.
- No deposit amount is listed either.
Because the exact pricing is not published, you should contact the operator directly to obtain a quote and compare it against the city’s indicative starting price.
Room types and guidance
The listing categorises units as:
- 3b – likely a three‑bedroom unit, which may be rented as a whole apartment or as individual bedrooms (common in shared student housing).
- Apartment – could refer to a self‑contained studio or one‑bedroom flat.
Based on guest photos and descriptions, some rooms are private and lockable (e.g., a private bunkbed room), while others may be dormitory‑style. The presence of shared bathrooms and a communal kitchen suggests that many units are not fully self‑contained. If you prefer a private bathroom, confirm this when booking. If you are travelling with friends and want a whole three‑bedroom apartment, ask whether that arrangement is possible.
Booking timing
The tag “not_available” signals that the property may currently have no open inventory. This could be temporary or permanent. If you are interested in staying, contact the operator at least several weeks in advance, especially if you are planning to move in during the peak student intake months (August–September 2026 or January 2027). Because reviews show short stays (5 nights), the property likely accepts bookings on a rolling basis. However, with no published availability calendar, the best course is to use the platform’s live assistant (see below) or reach out directly.
