We had a wonderful stay in this delightful apartment. We were there for almost a week, and found the place to be a lovely oasis among the hustle and bustle of downtown LA.
The until is on the 4th floor, which means there's no one walking around above you. It's pretty quiet, considering its central location. Most of the noise comes from its proximity to the elevator; you will hear everyone as they get on, get off , and sometimes linger in the hall. But I think there are only 4 units on the 4th floor, so it's not that big of a deal. Unless it's 3am...then it feels like a bit of a deal. If you're a light sleeper, I would suggest earplugs.
The hosts, Ryan and his team, are very responsive and helpful. They've thought of almost everything, and if they haven't thought of it, they are open to it! Everything is keyless - the entry to the building, the entry to the unit, so it's very easy and convenient.
The location is great in that everything you need is in walking distance. There is a massive Whole Foods about 5 blocks away, and there are great restaurants all within a few blocks of the apartment. We really enjoyed the Israeli food restaurant called The Exchange - hip and delish!
Parking would be a real hassle if you didn't take advantage of the parking garage associated with the unit. Traffic is really heavy in that area and street parking would be a miracle. You won't regret paying for the garage parking.
I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, or recommend it to others!
