I’ve stayed at the Proper in Austin, TX so when I booked this one I had similar expectations: stylish, hip, cook vibe, excellent service and well designed. Well the Proper in downtown LA delivered on all fronts with the huge exception of its location in downtown LA. The surrounding neighborhood is scary, boarded of businesses, lots of homeless, not a neighborhood one could walk around in. I wish it was in a better location. Loved the hotel, not the location.
