The apt is large and great for a traveling couple who is looking to explore LA. If you can walk the 5 blocks to the Metro it opens up LA! You can get to Santa Monica, Hollywood, Long Beach, and Koreatown for $1.75! There is a Whole Foods 2 blocks away and TONS of bars and restaurants within a block or two. The apt is as advertised, its modern, clean, and has all the amenities a traveler would need. The comments about the street outside should be taken with a grain of salt. DTLA is gritty in spots but that is part of DTLA. World class dining and theaters are around the corner, but yes, DTLA has a homelessness problem that is widely known and it spills everywhere. There is a lot of construction in the area as they are gutting a lot of the buildings on the blocks surrounding the apt and reconstructing DTLA! The price point and location for a modern apt can't be beat in this area. Plus many apartments don't allow AirBnB in DTLA so this is not as common as many other cities.
