We had a fantastic stay in Alex's apartment. Is exactly as it looks and a home from home. Really nice inside and couldn't fault it. Alex was always on hand to reply to messages when contacted. My only concern was with the location downtown. I wouldn't recommend downtown LA for families. There was quite a few homeless and questionable characters. While I felt safe, some in my party didn't. But to be fair, you would probably get that in most cities. I think where we are from we didn't expect to see as many. As adults I would say your fine to stay. Just not a family area.
