I travel a lot. All over the world. I think is my favorite Airbnb in about 10 countries. I travel for the movie industry so Im Always bouncing around.
I had no idea there was an awesome little old school neighborhood 2 blocks away from downtown la. Right across the freeway from the heart of downtown. It was actually easy to park my rental car. Parked it right out front on the street. That never happens in la.
This place is a legit 5 min walk from the staples center. And the movie theatre. And about 50 awesome restaurants. You don’t have to drive or park in downtown which is a huge huge bonus. Parking downtown is an absolute nightmare.
I was absolutely shocked to find this place. I’ve lived off an on in la over the years for work. I totally did not know this cute little neighborhood existed.
I was in town for work and this place actually felt like a little home for a month. So so so much better than a hotel.
It’s a cute little place. In an old style la building. The good old la buildings with hardwood floors and wide hallways. This place has a great kitchen, with classic appliances. And a cast iron pan! With a chain mail cast iron scrubber!! Cast iron is the ultimate for healthy cooking and any place that has one I will stay at as long as possible.
And… 3 closets… 3…. I actually didn’t have to look at my suitcases and work gear the entire time.
this place is Short walk from a fantastic grocery store (Smart and Final on Figueroa st). So it’s easy to stock up before the work week. It also has an old cast iron tub. Which is pretty awesome to sit in and read a book after work
there’s a gold’s gym on 7th and Figueroa. It has swim lanes and tanning beds and all the bells and whistles. I think it was just remodeled. It’s About 15 min walk. A month membership was 35$. This is a way better option than any hotel gym. I went 6 days a week.
The neighborhood is surprisingly quiet. Actually… it’s amazingly quiet. I never sleep this well on work trips. there’s a little cafe around the corner that has great breakfast burritos and steak sandwiches. Fluer cafe. It’s on Uber Eats but I mapped it and its 300ft away. Great place to grab food before work or sit down on that one day off a week.
Honestly I was sad to go at the end of my stay. It’s really rare to really enjoy a place for the duration of a work project. This place felt special. It was so calming it felt like home. I’m gonna stay there next time I’m Back in town.
Crystal was great. Check in and checkout was super easy.
