The apartments and building are brand new and really nicely done, the location is not the greatest and there is no much to do walking distance. The parking is around the corner half a block in a separate public parking structure which makes it somewhat stressful when arriving late and having to walk in a dark street in downtown Los Angeles sometimes with homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks, specially if you are traveling with kids. We were given apt 203 which is a one bedroom with view to the alley. We didn't care about the view but there is a parking lot/garage with hours of operation starting at 5am (I have the picture of the hours of operation sign) and the noise coming from the alley YES that early, makes it impossible to sleep. We were changed to 205 facing the street. This apartment was larger. When you first walk into the unit you enter through the bedroom which is different but since the apartment is so nice, you quickly bypass that, what you cant ignore is the noise coming from the hallway. Everyone that goes to any of the units on that level will come out from the elevator talking, laughing, carrying luggage etc and because the bed is next to the front door which is next to the elevator/hallway the noise again is really bad and doesn't allow for a comfortable sleep. Its like the building walls are cardboard. You can hear absolutely everything happening around and I mean everything! We heard a very happy couple too! very LOUD and clear!!!
We stayed 7 nights. During our last night when we arrived around midnight to the apartment carrying our shopping bags and our kid that was asleep, the code for the door didn't work. We called the emergency number which nobody answered, luckily I had the number of the manager since we changed apartments the second night. I texted and called her, she had to reset the code. No explanation was given as to why this happened and well, it was very uncomfortable for us to have to wait with all the stuff we had and a tired child out side for a a while until it got corrected. We also had some issues with the internet but I did see the employees fixing it after.
Anyway, I do not think we will ever stay there again, but if you are a very VERY heavy sleeper and don't mind walking to your car half a block in the dark, this building is great and the apartments are really nicely done and spacious. I believe all the units are being used for AIRBNB as I constantly saw people with suitcases. The building also has a wonderful rooftop area and very nice decor.
