Great place to stay

Fred Nerks Sydney/Australia
Review Submitted: August 12, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
I definitely enjoyed my 10 day stay. When I come back to LA, I would have absolutely no hesitation in staying in this property again and would have no hesitation in recommending this property to anybody.

WYSIWYG, this is an acronym in the IT field that stands for What You See Is What You Get. The photographs are very true. Tim, the owner has decorated the appartment stylishly. The property is located in the heart of the Historic District of downtown LA.

The appartment and its amenities are also clean and modern, a big plus when going to a place. The appartment is very close to bus stops and a very short walk to a major Metro station. I had absolutely no problem in visiting every tourist attraction I wanted using the public transport system. At the time of writing, the cost of buying a weekly ticket is also very cheap.

The property is located in a building that has a security presence. Have said that, I didn't feel there were any security issues around the area, nor in travelling on the subway or buses at night, nor walking down the street. I used simple common sense!

Tim, the owner is curteous and went out of his way to assist me in my desire to find some places to Salsa whilst I was visiting LA.

Although I had absolutely no problem in sleeping at night, people who are ver light sleepers may have some difficulty as the property is located in the heart of downtown LA.

The Perfect Downtown Studio

lukebenjamin Monrovia, CA - USA
Review Submitted: October 28, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
This studio was a wonderful place to stay in and experience the heart of Downtown LA. Tim was amazingly helpful and always provided helpful and accurate information.

This genuinely was a home away from home, everything that you could think of was taking care of in this cool and stylish studio. It was so nice to be able to be right in the middle of downtown and go to the pantry, nickel diner, pete's and other cool restaurants. And the view on the roof was a great place to sit and take it all in.

Downtown LA is a great place and my fiance and I had the chance to experience it the best way with staying at this studio.

I would recommend this place to anyone and if you want to experience true Downtown LA this would be a great place to stay.

Cool Place, Neat Location - EASY to deal with

JamieJ Kingston, WA
Review Submitted: September 29, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We loved it! We picked the perfect time to stay here... they were shooting a movie right outside! The atmosphere was fun - but still very relaxing and casual. No hotel pressures and everything you need at your fingertips. The loft is very spacious and comfortable, I only wish we would have stayed longer! We visited the roof deck, but wish we had time to just lounge there. Lots of great food within walking distance. We flew in to Burbank around rush-hour, the drive was pretty easy.
Tim is so easy going and great to deal with. He was a huge help from the first phone call to checking out. We HIGHLY recommend this loft and will stay here again when we come back to L.A. Thanks Tim!

A very good stay

USC mom Nashville, TN
Review Submitted: July 28, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My son and I had the opportunity to stay here while attending an orientation session at USC. We were looking for a place that would comfortably accommodate both of us, have the conveniences of home for 5 nights and be close to USC. I have stayed in several hotels in the downtown area and paid for parking up to $35/night. One parking space is included with this unit which made it very economical for us. After much looking I decided on this loft. It is exactly as it appears in the photographs. It is very well appointed and clean. My son was very comfortable on the futon and the bedroom area around the corner was great and somewhat private for me. I was concerned that the noise of the downtown streets would keep me up at night as I am a light sleeper but I slept great. There is AC and there is a fan that I kept going that helped with the noise and also the fact that.the loft does not face the street directly keeps the noise level down as well. We called Tim as we approached the downtown area and he met us exactly when we arrived to let us in the parking garage which is in the gated basement. The building is very secure. He proceeded to give us a tour of the building, introduce us to the guard in the lobby, explain the area and show us the particulars of the loft. The customer service he provided us was great and he even checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was going well. Communication before, during and after our stay was immediate. I would point out that I definitely would stay here again and I felt very safe in the loft and in the parking garage. All the tenants I came in contact with were very friendly although for the most part I really didn't see too many. I would point out that it is not located in an area that one would feel comfortable walking around in so having a car was great but one has to remember that this is downtown LA. Being familiar with LA and knowing this in advance, this was not a problem as I had a car and that was not my priority. There is a wonderful new Ralphs located a few blocks away that Tim told us about. We went there several times which made the kitchen that much more invaluable to us. Really, overall, it was a great stay and I would recommend this loft especially if one is looking for the downtown area, has a car and wants a home away from home. As far as decor goes, it is very contemporary but is very comfortable at the same time. Hope this helps!

Perfect Week in LA

THinChicago Chicago, Illinois USA
Review Submitted: May 18, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
"We stayed here for a week and loved it! It is very conveniently located to so many things to see and do in LA and there are some great restaurants all over downtown, we especially loved The Nickel on Main Street for breakfast. It's also very convenient to the subway and Union Station. The loft is really beautifully decorated and super clean. There is also secured parking in the building which was great to have as we had a rental car. The owner Tim was really nice and super accomodating and gave us lots of tips and recommendations. We would definitely stay here again. "
Owner's Response: Glad you enjoyed your stay and liked the Nickel Diner. Monica and Kristen have created a really great neighborhood eatery. :)
