We had a great time in Jeff's apartment. Everything was as described in the ad and we had more than needed for a one-week stay (lots of clean towels, toiletries), including a washing machine.
The area is very pleasant, with a number of little cafes and independent shops. Getting there was easy enough as it's one train Sto away from Union Station. You need to get a bus to go places as the subway doesn't go there, but you can catch many lines within a 15 min walk (and some stop right in front of the apartment!).
We got in touch with Jeff before checking in, and he immediately got back to us with recommendations of places to stop by for drinks or coffees, which we thought was very nice. There are also more suggestions in a folder inside the apartment - along with the WiFi code and other information about amenities, the TV, etc.
We would definitely consider staying again if we decided to go to Los Angeles again in the near future.
