Esmeralda and Aaron's place is great! This building has a lot of Airbnb's; I've stayed at another loft here before. The units that face the front or rear have huge windows, but none in the bedrooms. Those that face the sides, like Esmeralda's, have smaller windows in the great room and bedroom. There was ample natural light because the unit is above the roofline of the adjacent Theatre at the Ace Hotel. And I liked this floorplan better, especially the kitchen with its bar seating and counter space.
The loft is just as pictured in the listing. I met Esmeralda and Aaron accidentally when I checked in before my ETA, but had no reason to contact them afterwards until I departed. It appears that they actually live here, which was a first for me in an Airbnb. As such, pretty much every amenity was available, but I didn't always know where the line was between what I could use/consume and what I couldn't/shouldn't.
Parking is free at the structure across the street. The location is perfect for easy access to all that DTLA has to offer. SO many great restaurants!
Music from the rooftop lounge at the Ace Hotel can sometimes be heard, but it does not go too late. The building's rooftop pool area is also great, with fabulous views.
Would definitely stay here again.
