We enjoyed our stay at Herly's place - depending on what you're trying to do/ see it is pretty convenient, but not necessarily close to DTLA (unfortunately the traffic will always be an issue). The apartment looked like the pictures, but a few things were a little worn down/ need to be replaced (table cloth in the dining area, bedroom curtains, etc). However, it felt and smelled clean when we entered, which we appreciated. It was perfect for our family of 4 (with 2 teenagers) because we were able to have our own bathrooms and we definitely utilized the pool. Communication with Herly was excellent the entire time, and he provided thorough instructions which allowed for an easy check in. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable base to explore LA with your family/ a small group, I'd recommend Herly's place.
