My business partner and I had a terrific time in LA thanks to Alexa. Alexa met us as on the first day for check-in, handed off the keys and free parking pass, and toured us through the unit. She also provided us with her direct contact line in case of any questions or emergencies.

The unit is virtually brand new: extremely clean, spacious, stylishly furnished and super comfortable. The pictures do not do it justice. There are skylights throughout the main living area of the unit which provide natural light during the day. The unit amenities were great: DirectTV, private WiFi, a second rain shower in addition to a standard tub shower and the complimentary Keurig coffee and bottled water were a nice touch. The washer and dryer came in handy as well; detergent provided! The parking space is just across the street in a private parking garage. The garage is accessible 24/7.

The unit is centrally located to many incredible restaurants and bars in downtown LA; most within walking distance. Grand Central Market, Sugarfish, Bronzed Aussie, Chego, Daikokuya, Casa Dona, Bottegra Louie, Umami Burger provide a wonderful sample of the incredible downtown LA food scene. Alexa's additional recommendations for food and nightlife were also well received.

Due to the building being recently renovated there was an issue with accessing the building hosted WiFi from our unit. Since our trip was a business retreat having internet access was critical to our productivity. This hiccup was immediately addressed the first day and Alexa provided us with access to the resident lounge/business center of a sister property she manages a few blocks away for the duration of our stay. It was a blessing in disguise as it got us out and about every day; walking and exploring downtown LA. The unit has since received its own private WiFi router and on-site access is no longer an issue.

Alexa is an amazing and attentive host. We had an incredible trip and will definitely look for a unit managed by Alexa on our next visit out to LA. Highly recommended!
