"The suite with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths accommodated my family well! We only stayed for one night which is not even enough time to enjoy this fully furnished APARTMENT! There was parking available across the street which was a cheaper option for us. There could have been more than one towel set for each bathroom. Water pressure was quite softer than I expected. The balcony was a great feature to watch traffic and just take in the sounds and sights of DTLA. I did notice that the balcony door has to be shut in order for the AC to run, there is a sensor on it, but the door in our room didn’t latch like a normal door, so we wouldn’t know the AC stopped until it started to get hot. The handle has to be turned in order for it to latch which we found out fairly quickly lol. Other than that, AMAZING place, will stay again if out that way"
