Review of LEVEL Furnished Living

My fiance and I frequently visit LA, and after yea...

My fiance and I frequently visit LA, and after years of staying with family or in your typical hotel, we decided to look into staying at LEVEL. We'd never stayed in a short term rental before (they offer long term rentals as well), and didn't know what to expect. To be honest, at one point, we were contemplating whether we should cancel our booking and stay with a relative. We are SO glad we decided to check it out!!

When we pulled up to the building, all uncertainty was immediately wiped away. Located in the heart of DTLA, LEVEL is a brand new hotel that feels more like a luxurious condo with upscale finishings and just overall great people. We were greeted by a wonderful group of cheerful staff and treated with the utmost kindness and respect. Everyone who was working in the building looked as though they were genuinely happy to be there and were eager to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

After checking in, a young man helped us bring our luggage to our room and gave us a quick spiel of the building and the amenities they include. DO NOT MISS OUT ON THEIR AMENTIES!! My only regret is not staying longer and hanging out in their wonderful facilities every night. Beautiful, full-sized basketball court, a gym that makes other fitness centers look like they need a face lift, beautiful lounge with outdoor fire pits and tons of seating for a large party, heated outdoor swimming pool, sauna/steam room, free WIFI, weekly housekeeping and way, way more!

When we got to our room, our jaws dropped. As soon as we stepped into the unit, I turned to my fiance and told him, "This is my dream home". Everything about it was perfect... It was sleek, it was spacious, there was beautiful white, polished marble throughout the main living area, and new laminate flooring in the room. The room had many drawers and compartments for us to make use of. The kitchen was a dream and had tons of cabinets and countertop space. It was all a dream...

The developer and interior decorators were extremely smart about how they created and furnished this space. The square layouts showed no wasted space and the furnishings put in were minimal, yet was put in with the consideration of the guest in mind. There was ample seating for guests, two TVs (one in the bedroom) and a large balcony with some outdoor furniture. We very much enjoyed being able to end our day with a glass of wine on the balcony.

Realistically, we were in town for a vacation and didn't expect to want to stay in as much as we did. We came with the intention of being out of the home quite a bit and simply coming back at night to sleep. What we ended up doing (for almost half of our time in LA) was walk around the area to grab food, come back and enjoy our meals in the comforts of our beautiful temporary home.

Needless to say, my fiance and I never wanted to leave.. It was devastating to have to give back our room keys and even three weeks after our departure, I'm still thinking about and mentioning 'that time we were at LEVEL' to everyone who will listen. I'm already planning my next trip out there and can't wait to be back at the LEVEL apartments again.
