My wife and I stayed at Neda's place for 1 month and it far exceeded our expectations. Neda is the most amazing host I have ever met and her place looks even better in person! It has everything you need for a long stay. The place is really bright and airy, the ceiling is super high. It's open concept and the balcony is such a great touch with awesome views of downtown.
Her apartment is in Market Lofts which is perfectly located at Hope and W9th. The lofts are built on top of a Ralphs supermarket, and there is a Whole Foods and Smart & Final both within a five minute walk. FIDM is right across the street with a nice park to walk and have a picnic. Everything you need is within walking distance, including Macy's, Fig at 7th, Metro (direct access to Santa Monica and Hollywood for less than $2!), rental cars, and hundreds of amazing restaurants and cafes. Did I mention Neda is an amazing host?
Highly, highly recommend for short stay or long term.
