great nice apt right in the middle of downtown LA, where everything happens around you. perfect if you plan to visit LA and need a safe retreat at night. best thing is the car park right underneath the building, run by very helpful and friendly people. at the top of the building you have access to the swimming pool and a spa in a seriously nice environment. I also found it easy to make friends with other tenants. I think if you are looking for a homely place where you can cook yourself a meal, well, maybe this isn't it, as there aren't many utensils in the kitchen, but you are virtually surrounded by pretty good restaurants and food options. also, yes, it's very noisy at night, again, it's downtown LA. you are there for the buzz, not for the peace and quiet! and Rob is a great host, no doubt.
