Jonathan's studio apartment is in an upcoming neighborhood. There are two cafes that are walking distance, local stores and eateries, a nearby park, and a scenic bike/walk path alongside the LA River. The studio overlooks a nearby cafe and we were lucky enough to listen to comedy and musical acts from the balcony. However, this is an up and coming neighborhood and there is a lot of construction next door and across the street that typically starts around 6-7 am. Parking can be tough throughout the day due to construction and work spaces nearby, but ample parking at night. Overall, this property was enjoyable. I would recommend this stay.
