I stayed with a group of five friends, for a wedding in the Entertainment District, and the apartment was perfect. It's clean, well-appointed, and our hosts communicated readily and had great recommendations. There was also Kafka, the fluffy and stoic guard cat keeping watch from the porch.
The neighborhood is terrific as well: the actual block is quiet, but turn the corner in any direction and there are tons of great coffeeshops, restaurants, shops, bars, markets. We all wanted to come back and spend more time there, and would do so at this apartment in a heart-beat!
