My stay at Pia's place was for one week in October. The apartment was as pictured, perfectly-suited to my taste. The location is in the heart of the Arts District and very walkable to reach local restaurants, bars, and art spots. I'd highly recommend Pia's place if this is your desired neighborhood. Plus it's only a 10-15 walk to the other side of downtown. It's also convenient to get right onto the 101 or 10 freeways.
