We had such a wonderful time staying at Pia's loft! We chose it because it is in the Arts District, near a wedding we were attending the weekend of our stay, and had a parking space. Although we were nervous driving to the unit because the neighborhood seemed a little scary at night, we felt totally safe in the gated community and really loved walking during the day because there are so many great murals around. (Also, we learned that a lot of the barbed wire is kind of just there but not actively meant for anything?) It's practically across the street from the Little Tokyo Market, where there are restaurants and an Asian supermarket. It's close to downtown and Little Tokyo. The unit itself is really spacious and could very comfortably accommodate a much longer stay that we did. Pia was super helpful in helping us get checked in, helping us deal with a rain-induced Internet outage, and answering questions about LA. Honestly, I don't know why I would stay anywhere else the next time I come to LA! This was exactly what we needed and then some.
