Great place to stay

Our first clue to how great our "LA Loft" experience was going to be was the gracious welcome that Tim gave us when we arrived. He gave us the tour of the property, lots of local info and great recommendations.
The area in which the loft is located is just wonderful. Not glitzy but really great! There's plenty of impressive deco architecture and faded but still beautiful old theaters. We didn't rent a car so we walked everywhere and utilized the public transit with ease.
For dining out, the loft is walking distance to great food: Little Tokyo for the best Ramen we've had outside of Japan (Daikokuya), the Nickel Diner for outrageously delicious comfort food and a great half price sushi restaurant (Octopus) close to Metro Center.
The loft itself is decorated beautifully and gets a high utility score from us as well. Everything we needed was supplied and up to a high standard.
We'll definitely come to stay again!

This rental allows you the rare opportunity to live like a local in one of the most unique neighborhoods in downtown Los Angeles. My husband and I rented this loft for my birthday weekend and loved every minute of it. The loft is very clean, with beautiful design details and a great modern feel. The parking spot that's included in the rental makes the entire stay even nicer. We enjoyed cooking dinner one night and sipping wine while watching the sunset from the roof deck.

But the true experience of this place is walking around the Broadway District of Los Angeles. Within just a few blocks of the loft are great restaurants, cute cafes and awesome bars. We enjoyed a true day and night out on the town before returning to our much more suburban existence.

We both wholeheartedly recommend this loft for a romantic weekend, fun experience, architecture adventure or for anyone who wants a unique Los Angeles experience that you can't get at a generic hotel.

Thanks for a wonderful weekend. I'm sure we will come back for many more!

The Web site pictures and description are accurate; the property is very clean and well maintained. We found it attractive and comfortable. The owner, Tim, went out of his way to see that we had what we needed, including information about transportation and neighborhood amenities. My wife and I stayed for four nights and it was great to have more space than we would have had in a hotel room and to have the ability to prepare some quick meals. All of downtown L.A. is easily accessible to this location by public transportation with the excellent system of circulating buses every 6-9 minutes (unfortunately not at night.) If you're there on the right day, one of the downtown walking tours of the L.A. Conservancy is a great thing to do. The neighborhood has a range of interesting restaurants and cafes. Just a lot of diversity from the financial center to the flower market area. Do check out the Grand Central Market. Several good places for takeout nearby --- the rooftop deck is large and has a half dozen or so separate seating areas --- a good place to relax and enjoy the sunrise or sunset, It was a pleasure to explore an interesting part of an interesting city on foot --- not stuck in a car on a freeway.

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.

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!

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!

"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. "

Stayed here mid May 2009. Tim was good to work with and very accommodating. Loved the location - walked to City Hall, Music Center, fashion district etc. If staying here, recommend doing an LA Conservancy walking tour of the area. Great architecture from the late 19th early 20th centuries. We parked the car (in the secure, underground parking) and didn't use it until the day we left. Good restaurants nearby. (Nickel Diner on Main, good and moderately priced; Water Grill on Grand for the special night out - expensive and worth it). Loft was comfortable, with a nice rooftop space. We will definitely stay here again.
