Nora's apartment is absolutely fantastic. It was the perfect place to work from home--the wifi is very fast and the view of the city skyline from the desk was great! Although it is a studio apartment, the floor to ceiling windows make it feel big and airy. The kitchen had all the supplies I needed to cook meals and and there is both a Target and a Whole Foods within walking distance. There are also a lot of restaurants in the area ranging from fast food to top notch sushi. The apartment building felt very secure and the folks at the front desk are really friendly. The street can be a little noisy at night, given that it is downtown LA, but not so loud that I had difficulty sleeping, and for me the easy access to the metro, restaurants, and stores was definitely worth it. I had a wonderful time and I recommend Nora's place with no reservations.
