Studio layout & in-room features

The unit is a studio with one bathroom and an open-concept, roomy layout with brand-new furnishings and hard-surface flooring. The kitchen is finished with granite countertops and includes state-of-the-art appliances such as a microwave and an oven/stove, plus a coffee maker with coffee, tea, and creamer. Comfort features include smart central air conditioning and heating, cable TV, fresh linens/towels, and an in-unit washer.

Amenities & recreation

Guests have access to a 24-hour fitness center and rooftop amenities including outdoor BBQ grills, seating, and a deck for relaxing. The unit also includes a balcony/patio area and a hot tub is listed among the property amenities. Entry is secure and keyless for both the gates and the apartment door, and some common areas may require a key fob provided at arrival.

Location & getting around

Set steps from the Regional Connector Arts District/Little Tokyo station, the property is positioned for easy transit access across LA, with additional bus routes nearby and major freeways (101, 5, and 10) close by. Local points of interest include the Japanese-American National Museum (0.3 miles), Little Tokyo (0.2 miles), Mumford Brewing (0.4 miles), the Regent Theatre (0.4 miles), Philz Coffee (0.5 miles), and Los Angeles City Hall (0.6 miles). Union Station is less than a mile away, and destinations such as Pershing Square (1.1 miles), Seven Grand (1.2 miles), the Grammy Museum at LA Live (1.5 miles), and the Los Angeles Convention Center (1.7 miles) are also within easy reach.

Parking

Parking options include paid public parking across the building for about $10/day, nearby metered street parking (free between 8 PM and 8 AM), and free street parking on the rear side of the building on a first-come, first-served basis. Planning ahead is recommended, especially during busy Downtown LA and Little Tokyo hours.

Best for

This studio is best for couples, solo travelers, and remote workers who want a newly built base in Little Tokyo with quick Metro access (Regional Connector Arts District/Little Tokyo station). It’s also a strong fit for guests who value on-site lifestyle amenities like a 24-hour fitness center and rooftop BBQ deck, plus a full kitchen and fast Wi-Fi (400 Mbps). Travelers who want Downtown access without a party atmosphere may appreciate the note about quiet, professional neighbors and expectations around keeping noise low.

Travel tips

If you plan to use transit, the Regional Connector Arts District/Little Tokyo station is steps away, and Union Station is under a mile for Amtrak and MetroLink connections. For drivers, choose between the paid lot across the building ($10/day) or street parking; metered spots are free overnight (8 PM–8 AM), while free rear street parking is first-come, first-served. Keep your reservation’s guest count accurate—unregistered guests can trigger fees ($50 per person, per night) or early termination of the stay.
