The Charleston Apartments- Great Studio and One Bedroom Apartment Home for Rent Near Downtown LA!

very difficult, especially at night. But you can walk to 7th & Figueroa in about 15 minutes and there’s plenty of buses and 2 big subways (Metro Center and Westlake) that quickly take you to Koreatown, Hollywood and North Hollywood and USC. Plenty of Uber and Lyft cars are always available thanks to our DTLA location. And a lot of great restaurants and business deliver here too because we have the same zip code as the Financial District.
