Great stay

Absolutely not as advertised. A loft space that the landlord has furnished with the bare minimum to qualify. In no way worth the price paid. Main bed was a price of wood on the floor with a cheap mattress. Second "bedroom" is a cheap plywood box with very low ceilings, no ventilation and "windows" only to the apartment itself not external. Cheap kitchen with dirty pots and pans. Dirty floors. On the second day both bathrooms flooded with sewage as a drainage pipe backed up and despite a clean up the place stank of you-know-what for the rest of the stay. Area is sketchy with homeless sleeping right outside the door. Garage opener did not work forcing us to street park the car. A real shame as it could be a nice apartment but the landlord has figured that doing it on the cheap does not matter if you are doing short term rentals. Definitely do not recommend.

Downtown LA Proper was such a beautiful, unique hotel. The lobby, restaurants, and rooftop are all just as awe inspiring as they look in pictures. Our room was on the smaller side but laid out well, clean, and beautiful. There isn't much to do in teh immediately surrounding neighborhood, so plan to walk several blocks and/or be in a car to get where you're going.
