I was in LA for 5 weeks for work. This loft was perfect for my situation and a way better alternative to a hotel room. I am accustomed to walking everywhere so this was a jewel because it's proximity to everything is unmatched. The Walgreens on the corner and the taco truck outside the building made this place even better.
I am used to city noise so the din from the street didn't bother me. It is loud, but luckily I didn't care and could sleep through it. I also didn't find the area that "rough" as other reviewers. But I am also used to downtown areas like this.
The couch is comfortable, the kitchen was great, and the shower and tub we're perfect. If you're staying long term, it's a solid choice.
