The space is really big, there are two showers for some reason but the shower without the bathtub got the hottest :-) The neighborhood is not great, but I was already aware of this since I've been to downtown LA lots of times. Still, every time we walked out the door, there were homeless people sleeping right outside, just to give you a picture. This is just how downtown LA is, unfortunately. The apartment itself is quiet and close to a Whole Foods. I'm happy that I came with two guys because they took care of parking the car, which is down the block from the apartment. My only experience with the lot consisted of stepping over a young man doing crack in the stairwell on the way out of the lot. Again, this is just how it is in downtown LA at the moment!
