I stayed at Shabnam’s place for a month and I enjoyed it very much! It is accurate to the photos and description as it has a very industrial vibe to it, but it still manages to be very homey and cozy. The apartment is extremely noisy as you can hear everything from the streets just a heads up for anyone that is expecting a quiet area, which is kind of a given of being loud since you’re picking a place in the middle of downtown it should be expected. The noise did not bother me, and being able to see everything going on outside from my window to the street below was pretty cool! The farmers market every Sunday is viewable from the apartment and it’s an absolute must to check out!! There is tons and tons of places to eat and check out walking distance from the apartment. There’s also corner stores right outside the entrance on almost every turn so it was nice if I forgot to pick something up, I can just head down and purchase it quickly. The area is a little interesting if you’re not used to being in the city, and gets sketchy walking around at night, but the security of the building absolutely makes up for it, they are there 24/7 and are extremely professional and friendly!!! I appreciate how they are taking covid rules seriously as well.
If you’re a lover of the city or you want to see what city life is about, you will enjoy this place very much! If you enjoy the quiet country life this might not be the place for you.
Overall the place was pretty much what I expected and I was very happy with my stay, I feel as if you aren’t just renting a beautiful home but you’re also renting a whole experience and this place definitely gave me the LA City experience I wanted.
