Manuel's place is really stylish, surprisingly large, and has an awesome rooftop pool, plus gym area. I stayed there for a week on a business trip and would definitely stay again. When I arrived I was worried that the street outside would be too noisy but it wasn't really an issue, and I slept very well every night. The area is typical of Downtown LA - bars, great restaurants and a Whole Foods within a short distance distance, but also a rough and ready side whilst walking the streets. I had a great stay, Manuel was an excellent host and always available and accommodating, and I'd 100% stay again.
