We had a restful stay here, and we took advantage of the downtown location, as well as the nearby access to the 7th Street subway station, so we could get out and about without having a car (Santa Monica, Venice, Hollywood, etc.). The apartment is a huge space with super tall ceilings, lots of natural light, and facing away from the street, so it's quiet. We also appreciated the minimal decor and clean bathroom, kitchen, fridge, etc. The only thing to keep in mind if you haven't been to downtown LA in a while... be prepared for streets with people loitering about, sleeping on sidewalks, etc. The homeless problem in LA has been well-documented and, needless to say, is not limited to downtown. All in all, though, we loved the apartment.... it's a great place to stay, and we would come back for sure.
