Location location location! That's the first thing that comes to mind when describing Sanjeev's Loft. It's about as central in Downtown LA as you can get, steps to public transportation that can take you to many other places in town (e.g. Hollywood, Universal Studios), a Metro bike sharing station is across the street for speedy sightseeing and grocery shopping, and from the bed (!) you can see the landmark "Library Tower" (aka US Bank Tower), for all practical purposes still LA's tallest skyscraper, not to mention one that appears in countless movies and tv shows.
Walk to the Grand Central Market for lots of off-the-wall, adventurous "fast food", the MOCA, Broad, Disney Hall and the Music Center for your culture fix, the fashion and garment districts for cheap and stylish duds...historic City Hall, Chinatown, Little Tokyo, the much filmed Union (train) Station and of course the historic center with the Avila Adobe (where LA began) are all very walkable or quickly reached by bus, subway or the cool Metro bicycle share locations which are *everywhere*.
The loft is spacious, with high ceilings and an artsy, bohemian, funky (in a good way!) vibe, in an old school downtown building with original character. Sanjeev's "famous" boxes ;-) contribute to the bohemian vibe, but the place is so big they never get in the way. The kitchen and bathroom are very modern with killer amenities such as dishwasher and in-loft washer and dryer; all the kitchen and bathroom essentials (and much more) are there for you. I found the bed very comfortable, and waking up to that view...priceless!
Sanjeev has thought of just about everything so I rarely had to contact him, but they few times I had a question he got back to me as fast as one could expect given the time difference. Not to mention he's super friendly...excellent host!
I highly recommend this AirBnB, you'll enjoy the killer view, the extremely convenient location and you'll get to experience the real Downtown LA...boisterous and lively, cultured and sophisticated, rich and poor, multicultural and full of plenty of character(s).
And it's a great value to boot...
Thanks Sanjeev, I hope to be back soon!
