Nicky's place is gorgeous. The building is historic and loaded with character. It has a secure entrance and has a concierge. I loved the details in the apartment from the funky office-style door to the quirky coasters. You're in downtown L.A., so there's going to be a bit of noise, but I slept great with my earplugs and white noise app, which I use everywhere I travel. There are lots of restaurants in the area. It's walking distance at attractions like The Broad, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Walt Disney Concert Hall. And it's walking distance to several metro routes with several bus routes nearby. I was very comfortable in the apartment and found it lived up to the photos perfectly. This is downtown, so as in any big city you're going to see homeless people on the sidewalks and get panhandled. There were people out and about at night due to the restaurants and bars in the area. I stayed alert when walking to the apartment alone at night, as any woman does in a big city.
