Rob has a great spot downtown! My gf and I stayed there for the weekend while we went to Anime Expo. It was close enough to the convention center that it was only $4 for an uber cab. One of the best things was the LA cafe! They're open 24 hours and deliver, and are super fast, pretty cheap and have good food. Perfect for after bar snacks! The layout of the apartment is spacious and perfect for avid reader, Rob has a lot books on various topics.
Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to check out the pool, but there's a lot of places within walking distance. There's a drugstore coffee shop and taco shop across the street. Very centrally located. We would definitely stay again.
