About this property

Walk To Staples,LA Live!,Conv.Cntr.,Cafes, Bars, Movies

The Luxurious LUMA EXECUTIVE LOFT in the LUMA building - a new luxury condo/loft in the heart of the city. An easy walk to LA Live!, Crypto.com Square, the METRO, and the Los Angeles Convention Center - where you will enjoy many great restaurants, movie theaters, sporting events, live concerts, the Grammy Museum, ESPN Zone, the MICROSOFT Theater and the combined JB Marriott / Ritz Carlton Residences property. There's a wonderful danish bakery right outside the front door, great Prank restaurant as well as Starbucks right around the corner, On Saturdays, a fantastic Farmers Market, and restaurants in all directions. AEG, (the sports & entertainment giant) has its new world headquarters right across the street in the historic Desmond building. You can walk to the Financial or Fashion District, the Historic Core, or hop the METRO to Hollywood/Universal Studios or the Long Beach Aquarium. A car is nice to have, but not necessary to get you here... You can take the flyaway bus from LAX to Union Station and then either the METRO line or a short Uber ride to the LUMA building. If you have a car while visiting, your personal covered parking for two vehicles is directly outside the unit. Hiking trails, Universal Studios, Hollywood Walk of Fame and beautiful beaches are all a 20 minute drive. Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm are a 50 minute drive, and San Diego's Legoland, SeaWorld, Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo and SeaPort Village are a just a two-hour drive down the California Coastline. Our loft is located in a great area of downtown where you may encounter movie stars or filming on any given day. LUMA is a LEED-Certified Green Building.

Rented this property for a convention and it was one of the best ones I've rented thus far. Very short walk from the convention center, clean, friendly staff, quiet, and very comfortable. The massage chair was a highlight after a long day walking the convention center!

Disliked: Communication
The location was perfect, safe and within walking distance to the convention center (7 minutes fast walking). The kitchen is very well stocked and the place is very spacious considering it’s a studio. I was a single traveler and this place was perfect for that. Some things to be aware of:The noise of the street could be distracting if your a light sleeper. Bring your own shampoo/conditioner and body soap. They only have men’s Suave shampoo/conditioner in one and men’s body wash. Not a smart TV and no real TV channels to watch. No hangers in the closet. I was traveling on business and hangers are important to me. And there was no mattress pad on the bed. I also needed a receipt for my first charge for work and the host wouldn’t send it and stopped responding to me. I was nervous after that but they provided check in instructions at the right time.

Hi Kelli, so glad your trip was a success. I appreciate your feedback on your experience staying at our condo and the convenience of our location. I do want to let you know I sent a receipt for your first payment via your email so you may have missed it. It took a phone call to VRBO to actually figure out how to generate a receipt as I’ve never been requested to provide a receipt and there was no way to generate a receipt thru the VRBO system. They sent me a template, which I was able to use and send to you. Many thanks!

Great spot! It has everything I needed, from laundry to the right sauce pans for dinner and breakfast. Even down to the provided coffee creamers, the details are in order. The gym is nice and helpful if you want to work off your DTLA dinner calories. The coffee shop, Ideology, is great, and right across the street, plus half a block from an excellent breakfast sandwich spot too. Doormen are friendly, and the host is responsive. This is our go-to first choice when headed to Crypto arena or convention center. Thank you Paula for a great stay.

Great stay in a great location

We had a great stay at this interesting property in a fantastic location that was walkable to many things. The guests prior to us had left things in a less than ideal state, but our host made sure the room was well-prepared for us and did her best to address challenges the last guests' irresponsibility had left (e.g., not having enough keys).

About the host

Hosted by Paula

Host profile image
For several years my family has worked with a humanitarian foundation supporting tribal schools with over 1,000 poor, abandoned, under-served, and stateless residential school children in Chiangmai and Maehongson province, Thailand near the Myanmar (Burma) border. Originally from Bangkok Thailand, I love it here in downtown LA as a second home away from home. Bangkok's original name in native Thai is called 'KrungThep'. It has the same meaning as Los Angeles - the 'City of Angels'. LA also shares a similar crazy traffic style (as in Bangkok), and has many wonderful Thai restaurants. I return to Thailand every year with friends and family for humanitarian projects so this loft is decorated with a taste of Thai spirit. I enjoy bringing back memories of the good deeds from the trips to share with fellow travelers. I am happy to share my 'Thai flare' décor with all of my guests, and hope you are enjoying your stay here with peace and comfort. Thank you for staying at the LUMA Loft on your LA vacation. Hope to see you back soon. Thank you!

Why they chose this property

Luma building - luxury condo/loft in the heart of the city. An easy walk to staples center, la live!, and the la convention center - where you will enjoy numerous restaurants, movie theaters, sporting events, live concerts, the grammy museum, espn zone, nokia plaza, the nokia theater and the combined jw marriott / ritz carlton residences property. There's a wonderful danish bakery right outside the front door as well as starbucks right around the corner, and restaurants in all directions. Aeg, (the sports & entertainment giant) has its new world headquarters right across the street in the historic desmond building. You can walk to the financial or fashion district, the historic core, or hop the metro to hollywood/universal studios or the long beach aquarium. A car is not necessary to get you here... You can take the flyaway bus from lax to union station and then either the metro line or a short taxi ride to the luma building. If you have a car while visiting, your personal covered parking for two vehicles is directly outside the unit. Hiking trails, universal studios, hollywood walk of fame and beautiful beaches are all a 20 minute drive. Disneyland and knott's berry farm are a 50 minute drive, and san diego's legoland, seaworld, balboa park, san diego zoo and sea port village are a just a two-hour drive. Our loft is located in a great area of downtown where you may encounter movie stars or filming on any given day. Luma is a leed-certified green building.

What makes this property unique

It is very easy for us to visit hollywood & thai town to enjoy authentic thai food and a genuine therapeutic thai massage. You can take the subway from our unit and enjoy no traffic... The blue line connects to the red line and you are on the way to hollywood and universal studios. The subway station from our condo is an easy walk down the street.
