We stayed in this loft for a week for a conference and a few extra days of fun and exploring. We’ve used vacation rentals quite multiple times over the last 5 years and have never been let down before, and this place was no exception. The loft was amazing, and we felt right at home. Pretty much everything you could need was provided. The bed and couch were very comfortable, there was adequate storage for us to hang up and put our clothes away, and there was even a small ironing board to touch-up our business garments that always seem to get wrinkled on an airplane. The owners even left a bottle of wine for us in the fridge which was a nice touch.
The rooftop view was amazing, with tons of tables and chairs to take it all in! Unfortunately, the weather was uncharacteristically cold while we were there, so we didn’t get to enjoy it as much as we had planned.
The parking space is in a garage about a half a block down, which was perfectly fine. Considering that the hotels in the area charge $40/night for parking, this makes the cost of this rental a steal if you will have a car while there. (BTW – here’s an interesting fact for anyone who’s into movies: Part of the main chase scene from the movie Gone in 60 Seconds was filmed in the alley where you exit the elevator to the parking garage)
The only issue we had during our stay was that there were problems with the hot water being intermittent for a couple days throughout parts of the entire building. The property manager and owners were great about keeping in contact with us during this time, and were able to provide us a temporary solution which became unnecessary as it got fixed. While it was a little bit of an inconvenience, things like this can happen at any hotel, B & B, or rental, and we loved the place so much that it did not hinder our enjoyment, especially since we knew it was not being ignored.
There’s a fantastic place called the LA Cafe that’s downstairs in the same building, and around the corner of your entrance. If you stay here and don’t at least get breakfast there once, you’re missing out on some amazing food for a good (L.A.) price. Also, if you enjoy wine and a quiet atmosphere, there’s a place called Mignon that is about 1.5 blocks away that has mostly imported wine, and is a great place for a couple to hide away for a few hours.
Thank you to the owners for making this available as a great and well-priced option for us travelers, and to Paula for being there when we arrived!
