We had a really great stay. I enjoyed our time a lot - and I liked the building and the apartment. The apartment was very comfortable, clean, and stylish. I loved the historic aspects of the building.
I’ve been to LA many times before but it was my first time staying downtown. Downtown LA (DTLA) definitely has issues at the moment with homeless/unhoused people - no question there - but there are still lots of great things in the neighborhood. We enjoyed going to Clifton's Republic, The Varnish speakeasy, Little Tokyo, a brewery in the DTLA Arts District, and The Broad.
I was concerned about parking - but overnight there's ample street parking - you just need to leave early in the day (like before 8 am) before either parking is metered again or some parking lanes turn into traffic lanes.
