Alex's place is very central and close to a lot of bustling activity in LA's downtown area. I wound up easily walking to a lot of great places, including Bottega Louie where I met friends for an amazing brunch.
The apartment is complete with lots of amenities: great gym, pool, spacious TV lounge, friendly door man, etc. At times, it felt like more of a hotel than an apartment. And the cityscape view of the skyline is incredible.
Alex was an amazing host who immediately responded to any questions I had regarding the neighborhood and other odds and ends.
I highly recommend this place to anyone.
