Let me start by saying the team (Abode) were great. They were very responsive and got back to me within minutes if I had a question or needed to figure out something.
Pros:
- high ceilings
- cool, hip place
- they were kind enough to leave some laundry pods
- TV has Roku so it’s ready to watch Netflix or play Spotify.
- everything was very clean!
For the cons, please keep in mind this is nothing about the Abode team and nothing they’re really in control of. They were great to deal with the entire time but these are just about the place/location itself that anyone staying here should know.
Cons:
- Basically zero natural light. I was on the second floor and the living/dining room and kitchen get no light whatsoever. The bedroom has some light so I just worked from there but I would have liked to take advantage of the entire space.
- Location. If you’re visiting LA and want a place to walk around and explore, this isn’t for you. I’m from LA and just wanted a place to work from home but for anyone from out of town looking to get the LA experience, this isn’t it. It’s in a less than ideal part of Downtown. For people visiting, I’d recommend somewhere on the west side.
- Parking. Abode was nice enough to point me to a place a block and a half away to park in a parking structure for $10/ day. It’s kinda sketchy in there to be honest but that’s your best bet for parking.
