This studio is the peaceful, beautiful space that you need for a stay in downtown LA. My husband and I stay downtown twice a year to have easy access to the fashion district, which is an easy walking distance from Maxim’s place. The street is a good one, with many lovely restaurants within a block or two, plus a Whole Foods, which makes cooking breakfast or lunch at the studio really easy. We ran from the location in the morning, and although the homelessness struggles are ever present in LA, we felt very safe. If you are staying in the neighborhood, you simply cannot find a better value. The studio is clean, very nicely furnished and decorated, the balcony seats are an oasis to come back to after being out. The bed is comfy.
