The view is outstanding. It is worth paying the price of this listing by itself, but we did have a few issues with the property. It's location is conveniently central to what most tourists will be looking to see in Los Angeles, but without a car you will be forced to using the LA metro from MacArthur Park station. We found this station to be incredibly uncomfortable to use, and did not travel to and from the apartment at night as we found MacArthur park unsafe to be around in the evenings. The TV worked great the couple of times we used it, and though the kitchen was perhaps not the most developed of setups it was more than enough for us to cook with. Just down the street from the apartment, which is itself in a safe location, is a very good supermarket that we used to cook our own food on most nights. The Wi-Fi worked fine for our stay, but most of the lights did not work in the apartment.
The apartment had been cleaned just prior to our arrival and was perfect for our stay, however in trying to access a power outlet by the bed, I went underneath it to find that noone had cleaned under the bed in months. The property lacked a few essentials, with no mugs or trash bags for us to use in the apartment, but besides these issues we really had no complaints regarding the cleanliness of the room.
This is a good budget option for staying in Los Angeles, with an exceptionally good view of downtown that was in fact better than the photos listed here. Just note that if staying here and planning to use the metro, MacArthur Park station did not feel like a safe place to be at all.
