If you are just scrolling down the reviews, here is the short version for you:
the place is clean and quiet, Uber arrives within 2-3 minutes, and the hosts are amazing - very quick to respond with any questions and doing whatever is possible to make you feel comfortable and taken care of. There are cats in the house - beware if you are allergic to them, otherwise they would not bother you.
If you are still reading... :-)
This place is a gem. I would not go anywhere close to DTLA if I can't stay there again.
The hosts are very nice people, very caring and kind, and when you spend some time in this house, you will see they are kind not because it's a part of a job of being hosts, it's the way they are and how they care about the world around them. They will take care of you in the best possible way, and they have thought and took care about even the smallest details even before you think of that yourself. They will also supply you with information about interesting places to visit around, where to eat/ drink, and whatever else you need to know when you are at a new place.
The place itself is... magical. Not Disney kind of magical, though. It's a perfect fit for someone who appreciates one of a kind experiences more than the most popular tourist attractions. You will find furniture items you would never thought could exist (and I am not giving away any spoilers), you will see fascinating design and one of a kind details. The whole place is a work of art and I had an opportunity to make this art space a part of my life for a few days. It's a special gift for me :-)
The location is a very short Uber ride from the Union Station and to any place in downtown. If you want to visit LA's signature landmarks like Disney, Hollywood, beaches, etc. - you will be quite away from all of those and either be prepared to spend a lot of time in traffic or find a place closer to where you want to visit. For downtown, it's perfect - close enough for everything and not close enough to the most noisy areas that would keep you awake at night.
There are two adorable cats in the house. They will greet you when you come and make you feel like you are home, but they would not bother you at all. The whole place is very clean and well taken care of and there is no cat smell at all, but if you are allergic to cats - be prepared.
Overall I can compare the experience to a five star one of a kind boutique hotel.
