Joseph's downtown loft was as a great experience. Joseph was communicative, kind, and and timely. He not only answered my questions, but also helped me carry my luggage from the car. The loft came as described - a roomy, modern, spacious space in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, close to public transportation (including the 733 bus that takes you to Santa Monica on the West Side), walkable from locations such as The Last Bookstore (one of me favorite places downtown), museums, and theaters. The rooftop pool and hot tub were sparkling clean and there is coin-operated laundry in the basement. The apartment was stocked with appliances, cooking utensils, a flatscreen TV, monitor to plug laptop into, clean towels, a comfortable bed. The location is in an intense part of downtown - I felt perfectly safe, but as in any urban environment, it is important for visitors to be aware of their surroundings. Security was friendly, as were the other building residents. This apartment is a great deal and I would definitely recommend it, especially to couples and groups.
