Guest Reviews
- SUHYUN (8/5): 집처럼 잘 지내다 가요 - 음식을 직접 해먹을 수도 있게 조리기구와 용품들이 있어 편했어요~! 공간도 넓고 세탁기 건조기 등 모든 것이 다 갖추어져있어 집처럼 잘 지냈습니다. 건물 지하1층에 아울렛같은 슈퍼마켓이 있어 아주 편리해요~ 주차를 위해서는 추가가격이 있다는 것은 알아두고 가세요
- Viana (8/5): Great Place - Great place to stay. My boyfriend and I had attended a music festival near by and it was super affordable and convenient stay for us. Absolutely loved the apartment itself, it had lots of room and a kitchen with basic supplies for cooking. They dont tell you this but when you arrive, there is no parking. There are meters and public parking which you have to pay hourly and cannot leave your car there. For our case, we needed to have a spot for our car to make sure it was in a secure place so we had pay an additional $30 a night for parking inside the actual apartment complex.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I loved the location, the amenities, the newness, there was a grocery store attached, it was a 17 minute walk to the Staples Center.
- George (10/5): - Absolutely amazing one-room apartment. Everything that is needed to be comfortable. However, as a 79 year old I did not understand how to use the TV. And the the thermostat was confusing. My first night there there were loud burst of red hot flashes from the three lights in the living room and loud sounds, When I told the property manager he said it was the fire department making a test. This was at 2:30 in the morning! Otherwise it was a wonderful living space.

- Vibeke Skriver (6/5): Udemærket - Udemærket lejlighed, rummelig og pæn.
Beliggenheden var ok, men fik oplyst man ikke skulle gå alene ude om aftenen, hvilket godt kan gøre en lidt utryg, men bemærkede vi intet.
- Maria (10/5): Great Apartel! - We had a great time at the apartel! The apartment was spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful as they guided us through our late check in. We unfortunately didn't get to use any of the other amenities available in the building (i.e. gym/pool), but hopefully we get another opportunity to stay here again to make full use of our stay!
- Luke (10/5): - Great apartment hotel in downtown LA with all the amenities of a home away from home. Checkin/checkout process was easy...make sure to follow the instructions.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - You have to pay extra for parking, which is a bit ridiculous
- Tawni (10/5): - Check in was easy, it was in person, their office is down the street. The place is convenient as downstairs there is a grocery store and Starbucks. I would stay here again.
- PABLO (6/5): Decepcionante - Muy engañoso! El precio no está incluido ciertos recargos... Así que después de la reserva te cobran $100 por supuesta limpieza que no existe. Es decir de un día al otro no hay Housekeeping, sino es para cuando te vayas el recargo de limpieza. Segundo si quieres parquear tu auto te cobran $30 por noche. La ubicacion es excelente si quieres conocer el downtown y aprovechar el metro! pero cero recomendado si es viaje de amigos, extremadamente costoso para lo poco que te ofrecen.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A localização é muito boa, fácil de se locomover a pé ou de metrô. Mercado e cafés bem próximos. Apartamento espaçoso e limpo. Ótimo custo benefício.
- Nikolai (2/5): Kein Service - Wir haben über 2 Stunden nach der Unterkunft bzw. dem Checkin gesucht. Es sind weder Nummern noch Beschriftung am Haus angebracht und nicht einmal das Mexikanische Restaurant von direkt gegenüber konnte etwas mit dem Namen „Ginosi“ anfangen. Das Büro hatte bereits geschlossen, obwohl die Öffnungszeiten was anderes sagten. Im Chat bekamen wir widersprüchliche Ansagen zum Thema Parken und generell habe ich so etwas noch nie erlebt. Die Apartments sind ganz hübsch, die Lage naja.. Würde ich niemandem empfehlen.
- Alan (10/5): - Lounge and pool table area. There’s a grocery store near Sofia and Uber is accessible everywhere
- Andrew (6/5): - Propert beautiful. Location perfect. Staff were awful. Card didnt go through for parking charge due to property issue. Offered to pay cash but they refused. Issued ultimatum saying they would take the parking permit if we werent in the office by 2:30pm. Awful experience with staff and ruined our engagement celebration. Had to cut our day trip to LA due to this. Ruined the whole experience for my fiance and I.
- Verified traveler (6/5): 예약 시 참고하실만한 내용 - 방 자체는 넓고 깨끗하고 좋았습니다. 다만 시내에 위치해있다보니 안전이 문제가 될 수 있겠다는 생각이 들었습니다. 다운타운쪽에는 노숙자들이 즐비합니다. 저는 급하게 가는 바람에 잘 모르고 예약했는데 첫날 저녁 6시반쯤 들어오는데도 무서워서 그 다음날부터는 계속 5시 이전에 숙소에 돌아왔습니다. cctv는 아파트 로비에만 있고 복도에는 없다고 합니다. 또 스튜디오 형태의 방이다 보니 숙박하는 동안 수건을 새로 가져다 주거나 하는건 없었습니다. 참고하세요~
- Alexis (10/5): Awesome - Awesome , had a hard time finding the pool though
- Brain (2/5): - It's a scam. They rent out apartments from tenants that are on vacation
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Établissement très propre à proximité de tout commerce avec plains d’activités
- Mandy (10/5): - It was a great stay. It would have been helpful to know the name of the building before arriving that I would be staying in since the numbers I was given weren’t on the building but other than that I enjoyed my stay!!!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The property was really nice, modern and equipped with all new amenities.
The kitchen wasn't equipped very well for cooking. Only seasonings were salt and pepper. Bring your own seasonings if you plan on using the kitchen.
Check in was supposed to start at 3pm. When we got there at 3, there was no one there and people had been waiting . I called the phone number and was told by the girl that answered that someone would be there in 30 min. This put us and our plans behind schedule. Super unorganized!
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Woke up with a rash all over my body, showered the night before and laid in the sheets on the bed. Rash on my face and chest were the worse
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great - Great location
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 洗濯機 乾燥機 冷蔵庫 コンロがあるので長期滞在にも向いている。
- PABLO (10/5): - Great place, great location, in downtown, very quiet and cousy. I only had WiFi problems.
- Alejandro (10/5): Great place to stay. - Clean, organized, and comfortable. Loved the accommodations. I went for a trip with a couple of friends and we all enjoyed our stay.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Expensive
There were extra charges that were not shown on expedia.com page when i searched on internet.
Today i received another charge 60$ on my credit card .
I dont know whether it is cleaning fee or somethingelse.
I used it as clean as possible and any hotel does not charge according to the room condition after check out
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean, nice, great location. Would stay there again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We had great time.
- Mitchell (10/5): Great stay for a week - Great size apartment with a full kitchen. Location was good as it was within walking distance of the downtown core and subway lines (~10 mins). It took me less than 20 minutes to walk to the LA Convention Centre where I had my conference for the week. The weather was not too hot that week so I didn't mind the walk.
The WiFi for my specific room was not working, but I could connect to several other apartments around me that had the same password that was given to me.
On one of the days I got a knock at the door in the early afternoon and some men said that they were there to investigate something (I honestly forgot what they said, but one of them proceeded to walk around the apartment with an iPad and some other device). I would have appreciated a notice beforehand as I was not expecting them. It looks like they had keys to the place and would have let themselves in even if I was not present.
Note that there is nobody at the reception building across the street in the mornings so you won't be able to check your luggage in early or leave it there after you check out.
- Rebeca (8/5): Great apartment in a convenient location - I stayed in this property from 6/27 to 6/30 and except for a minor incident, overall we had a good experience. the apartment was spacious, clean and modern with plenty of amenities and convenient onsite parking for a fee. The area is nice and safe and it’s very easy to get to all the downtown venues, restaurants and shops. The only negative mark is that, even though our apartment was in overall good condition? the carpet in the master bedroom had two areas that were very torn and ripped, to the point were some of the nails on the floor were exposed. This wasn’t an issue until my husband stepped on the nails and cut his foot. This is the only reason why I can’t rate it 5 stars. However I would still recommend this place and will probably come back.
- Josh (8/5): Nice Place - Was down in Los Angeles for work and also for baseball. The apartment was nice and clean, plenty of room, and very comfortable.
- Darker (2/5): - The reception is not available at all the time, just a few time slots. The facilities in the room are not as convenience as I thought, and many more....
DO NOT make a reservation with this accommodation!
- John (10/5): Good value - Clean nice apartment in a modern building.
- NARD (8/5): - Clean and spacious , i didnt like how my parking spot was far from my apartment.
- Kenneth (8/5): - Great furnished apartment, and above a medium sized grocery store. Great rooftop for lounging. All in all, the room and the customer service were great, and I would stay again if the need arises.
Only down side, and this could have been me missing the notice or Hotels.com system... I booked the room, and after I could not longer cancel the stay, I was notified of an automatic $160 cleaning fee as a smaller font notice on the receipt. I felt this was a bit of underhanded trickery, and would have appreciated this $160 appearing on the bill before accepting the confirmation and room charge.
Outside of that, excellent accommodations in a great area. Friendly staff, too.
- NICK (8/5): Great home away from home. - Great apartments. The place was new and clean although there were no daily cleaning service. It’s a home away from home, there are stove, microwave, fridge, dish washer and even in room washer and dryer for laundry. I stayed in a 2 bedrooms apartment with living and dining spaces, they were big and comfortable. Grocery store, Starbucks and Chipotle conveniently located downstairs. Fitness center is hard to find for some apartments, checkin is a little inconvenient as it’s at a different location but within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again.
- David (10/5): - Close to downtown, amazing rooftop view
- Patrick (2/5): If you like to be threatened... stay here. - Arrived with a non-refundable deposit, then notified that a $180 cleaning fee would be applied. Stuck. Received parking for one vehicle for an additional $30. Insufficient parking surrounding the apartment for another vehicle. Had to park at the hospital and walk in. I was initially confirmed for an apartment, but was switched to another property. The initial apartment had two sets of keys. The one given had a single set. However... they logged that they had given me two sets.
When I returned with the single set, the accused me of taking the other set. Informed that they would review surveillance footage to determine if I had taken them. They called 3 times the next day, threatening to fine me. I threatened legal action to make them stop.
Over $500 spent for one night, only be harassed and threatened over missing keys.
The experience was absolutely terrible.
- Busy (6/5): - Check in takes forever, if they are in the office, longer if they are not.
- Ruben (2/5): Overpriced and scam artist. - The charge per night was increased significantly when it was time to pay. No where to park so they charge 30 a night. Charge extra for mandatory “cleaning fee”. On top of this I was charged a l smoking fee because they went in the trash and found empty cigar packages that was never even smoked in the room or building. Ended up paying 700+ dollars for what was supposed to be a cheap 2 night stay. Horrible place.
- Seti (8/5): Central, Clean, Modern and Convenient - We stayed in other accommodation around the area and this one is definitely the best! Clean, Convenient, Central, Modern and Fully Contained with washing machine and dryer and a nice gym too!
- Vitaliy (6/5): Parking for extra $$ - Please be more open about parking availability and charges associated with it. I would still book your hotel and would give you a better feedback. I just don't like misrepresentation.
- David (4/5): Nice but misleading - I have the expedia app, I made a booking and paid a price which was advertised. Once I received the confirmation an additional $200 was added in fees including cleaning. This was NOT clearly advertised, I phoned booking.com who confirmed nowhere does it say an extra $200 will be added.
Since then the fee does appear on the app, but I am left out of pocket.
The apartment customer service people are based overseas and don't speak very good English.
They didn't help in anyway and basically just said there is nothing they can do.
Expedia also aren't very helpful they replied with a screenshot of the property fee but it was made very clear at the time of booking there was no fee.
Disappointing, make sure you read all charges 1st, at the price I paid I could have stayed in much better
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great, but not so great check-in! - Great overall, but check-in took more than 1 hour due to Printer not working and slow connection in the office.
- Mary (10/5): - Clean room with a decent view. Will definitely stay here again.
- Abas (10/5): - This place is in a prime location and is a very modern unit. Everything you need are within walking distance. The place is quiet and has a safe access.
- Evelyn (2/5): Clean room. Hidden fees. - The studio apartment itself was very nice. However, they have a non refundable service fee of $160 in addition to the expense of the room. This was not mentioned through Expedia at all. So it wasn’t until after booking that I found out. Other than that the location is convenient in LA. The parking lot was very confusing to get around and it was also poorly explained by their reps on how to find it. Took me about 30 mins to find my assigned parking spot and room. I will most likely not rebook here again.
- Demi (10/5): Modern and new but we had to set up new devices. - We loved the modern furnishings and everything was new but it was not set up. We found the instructions for the washing machine wet from a previous occupant, inside the machine. The cable TV was not set up yet on the third day we came back to find that someone had been in our apartel and installed the cable. The wifi was strong. The kitchen was fantastic with a gas stove and big refrigerator. The only real problem was that the office was about a mile away so we had to use two ubers to get to our place on the first day. Overall, we loved it.
- Bella (6/5): Convenient location - The room was dirty, so the $160 cleaning fee they charge it's very unreasonable. Also, the light in the bathroom was broken and I called right away to request someone to come and fix it; unfortunately no one came to even look at it. For the 4 nights we stayed there we used the flashlight of a cell phone to be able to use the bathroom - VERY INCONVENIENT!!!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Don't call the front desk for help. - Television in the room didn't work. Called front desk and they said they would send someone to check it out. No one ever came to check on why the TV wasn't working. I spent 3 days in this hotel and couldn't even watch one channel on TV.
