I really enjoyed my stay at Carlos & Cesar's place. DTLA is very close by and I would walk to coffee shops around the area. There is a lot of noise from upstairs but they can't control that. The water could be a bit hotter but if you are here during the summer, it shouldn't be a problem. Overall it was great and it was big enough for 2 of us. Carlos was very responsive and it felt like I was in my own apartment.
