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 Staples Center, LA Live!, MICROSOFT 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 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 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 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 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.

Fantastic VRBO

Everything was top notch from communication with the owner, to check-in, cleanliness and amenities. If you are looking for a place a short walk to the convention center or Crypto Arena this unit is perfect. The unit was well equipped and there is 24 hour concierge in the lobby which gave me a sense of security as a single traveler.

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).

Absolutely relaxing

I've stayed in hotels and other rental spaces in my day, this was by far the best! It was spacious, clean, nicely decorated, and with it's own laundry area. The massage chair was by far the highlight of the stay, that's to that chair we were able to walk around even more and explore. Paula's Email was detailed and helpful to navigate, get the keys and just enjoy my stay. The rules are simple and well within reason, I would most def stay again if I get a chance.

My Wife and I enjoy your stay at your property, whereas everything was advertised as listed. We've stayed in the Staples Center (Crypto.com Arena) area before. However, what we enjoyed most about this time around, was AWESOME layout, that included the personal touch of a massage chair, after a day out. Paula you were a GREAT host and thank you for hosting us. We would GLADLY stay here again, if it's available. Paula, enjoy the remainder of your 2024, and I hope that you have a wonderful and prosperous 2025.

It was amazing! Paula is great! Would definitely come back and stay. Perfect location and reasonably priced. Felt very safe and having parking in a garage was wonderful. Beaches are not far, traffic is a beast, but that’s just a given you work into your day!

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!
