Easy check in/out, great host, lovely apartment! Rob met us at the valet parking lot, which was just a block away from the apartment. The lot was open 24/7 and was quite convenient to access during our stay, as was the valet.

Rob's apartment is lovely, clean, and had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable, nice bathroom and kitchen. The building has a 24-hour doorman, and the other tenants (those we interacted with on the elevator) were friendly. The rooftop pool & gym were great - simple, and convenient! We didn't end up swimming, but we did sit by the pool in the morning, especially when I woke up before my husband. The apartment is a true loft, so the walls of the bedroom don't reach the ceiling. I didn't want to wake my husband when I woke up, and the roof gave me someplace to go in order to read or practice yoga.

The neighborhood is downtown Los Angeles - the historic district, I believe? We chose Rob's place because it was walkable to everything we needed - restaurants, Whole Foods, drug stores, etc. Rob and other friends compared it to the NYC warehouse district 15 years ago... still gritty, but very cool, lots of people around, lots of independent shops, lots to do. The first night, we arrived late and were starving. Rob recommended LA Cafe, a block away. It was excellent and affordable, as was every other meal we ate in Los Angeles. We are actually moving there in August, and chose an apartment only a few blocks away!
