Those arched windows were beautiful! And all that room! Good choice. It's really nice.

Thank youuu!!! Only tricky thing now is finding curtains for the round shape!😅✨

[@desireelaird7513]

Oh snap. I didn't think about that. Good luck!@@twinelle

[@DreaLeigh_]

This is a shot in the dark, but I noticed from your new apartment tour video you didn't end up picking the apartment with the arched windows, would you mind saying what building that apartment was in? If not I completely understand! @@twinelle

[@sarahb406]

@@DreaLeigh_ I'm wondering this as well

[@kallie.7827]

I gaspedddd when you showed the one you chose. The roof sunlight?? the brick?? those windows??? Omg girl congrats

[@hmr1504]

Your new apartment is HUGE. It has a great closet, and nice large windows. I'm excited for you. Can't wait to see how you will decorate it ❤

[@twinelle]

OMGGG the closetttt! My very first walk in closet! Such an upgrade from my current space but thanks so much for all the kind words 😄✨

[@neoxochitl]

@@twinelleI hope you see this! I live in ktown and already struggle with my friends visiting because there isn’t any parking. What do you guys do in dtla???? I would love to know because we plan on moving soon but parking is of course worse there than here.

[@twinelle]

@@neoxochitl ooooo street parking in ktown suuuucks. I remember literally driving around for 30-40 mins just tryna find parking sometimes and this was in a neighborhood with permit parking!😓 but in dtla my friends park in parking garages and pay the daily rate or they park in the street and feed the meters! A lot more options in dtla it’s just expensive😬

[@neoxochitl]

@@twinellethank you! Okay that makes sense and at this point I’m willing to pay the daily rate for them because like you mentioned - it can take forever to find a spot, especially on street cleaning day! Thank you so much and I’m a new subbie ❤ love the content.

Ok soooooo I love that you said this isn’t your skyscraper, floor to ceiling window Apt tour lol what a breath of fresh air. Gave me some ideas too.

[@victoriaashleyxo]

I used to live in the PE Lofts in 2013 (yes, front row seat to the Cecil water tower investigation) and loved my apartment. The market and restaurant downstairs were so convenient and actually really good. It's a good building if your unit's windows face Main St. I had one that had a view like the first one you toured and had to put privacy film on the windows. You could see EVERYTHING in everyones apartment lol

[@Arquitaki]

A few buildings need engineering inspection the facades showed exposed rebar , giant concrete cracks be careful! You don’t look only the interior ! Imagine an earthquake! Be safe!

[@Tylerlpc]

Girl with your budget, I’d move to Pasadena so fast lol

[@strangest_angel]

This is making me wanna go apartment hunting so bad… And I’m surprised about the prices bc I was expecting DTLA to be a lotttt more expensive than where I live but it’s only a little bit more

[@spacemono5419]

Yes, but other parts of LA is unlikely you will find prices like this. Most people are not living in DTLA these days because of the crime, drugs, and homeless population. Unfortunately, these issues are getting worse and the ca gov and LA gov is not doing much to help, which causes apartments to be less moved into, and a lot of old LA apartment buildings dont have great infrastructure, but thats around the whole county, and a lot of stores have closed. Its a bit dystopian in some parts of DTLA because they still build gentrified coffee shops or restaurants with very expensive prices, but then outside is full of extreme poverty and addiction. Other parts of LA and certain buildings in DTLA you will see very high prices , but the wealthiest in LA usuallt live farther from DT, and those prices are so ridiciulous , like over 1000 for a small room, and there is a lot of fees.. Sorry for too much context, but that is just what I would say accounts for the pricing. But Im glad she was able to find an apartment there that she liked and in her price range!

[@strangest_angel]

@@spacemono5419 oh that’s very interesting, thanks for your explanation!

[@twinelle]

@@spacemono5419 yup! You’re spot on! Businesses in the area are super expensive and are getting priced out. All my fav restaurants closed down this year! Makes me wonder what dtla is gonna look like in the future if this continues cause I wouldn’t see the appeal anymore if it’s just residential buildings. I only found the building I applied to because I was referred to it! Tbh tho I wouldn’t know what part of LA I’d want to live in if not in dtla. Soooo gonna stick around here until it becomes too much too handle😄✨

Wild that LA rent is cheaper than my nothing town. Just shows how crazy the market is right now. Glad you found something nice!

The best video so far this year.... thank you..

[@lz738]

I loved this! So interesting to see what's available and the prices. I was really surprised that the prices seem to be less than in Chicago, where I live. But maybe because you're downtown with all the unhoused population that pushes the prices lower?

[@twinelle]

I looked at more of the historic buildings so they tend to be more affordable compared to the high rise buildings which start at $2,200 for the smallest SMALLEST sq footage!

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

There is an easy fix for a doorless closet... suspension rod and curtain.. I actually prefer this and will either always keep doors open or completely take them off so I can use a rod and pretty fabric or bead curtains.

[@1thank2you3]

do you have to find the agent to give you all these tours?

[@twinelle]

For most of them you just need to contact them and they give you building access details via phone/email but if it’s a self-tour. Other tours include a leasing agent taking me around and I ask if I can film.

[@Lydmost]

May I ask what you like about DTLA? I was debating moving into the area but after hearing about how you’ve been catcalled and mugged, it makes me nervous.

[@twinelle]

I’m from the Central Valley so I love the stark difference that dtla offers. It’s full of beautiful historic buildings, fashion district (sewing supply stores + sample sales), central location so easy access to all metro routes (I don’t drive), it’s full of creatives (everyone I’ve met here is either a designer, owns a business, etc), and I love the nightlife (clubs + restaurants). There’s just a lot of sentimental value here for me cause I got my first “adult” job in fashion district and saw my first street art piece I studied at uni in person that I ran into by accident (banksy’s Parking mural). It’s easy to see how dirty and dangerous it is but I feel super inspired and motivated when here😃I think it’s definitely something you need to feel out for yourself cause it’s not for everyone✨ Oh btw I got mugged in ktown! But, crime literally happens all across LA. I feel more safe in downtown than I ever did in ktown tbh

[@NovaDoll]

DTLA is safer than Detroit so I never feel unsafe….😂😂😂

[@nancythesnazzyhuman]

[@Grwenhuhc]

Ugh cakes on the wall 😩

[@enoughblush]

:-( I won’t lie, as an LA native viewer, I’m SUPER disappointed that you took extensive time to talk about buildings being near skid row as a “negative” and that “the area is so bad”, but that you didn’t at least briefly mention or link resources to learn about the systems in place that created skid row as a humanitarian crisis. It was very hard to hear you say these things without at least briefly mentioning that there is an intentional reason as to why skid row is the way that it is while watching you tour such expensive apartments. I also recommend looking into the history and current circumstances surrounding those “abandoned skyscrapers” and the billionaires that own them. You came into this community four years ago, so I’m hopeful that you engage with your community and take part in advocacy, and I have no idea what you do outside of your social media time. I just think it was extremely out-of-touch to speak so extensively about the community of DTLA without at least very briefly including such important context, or at the bare minimum, including resources where people could learn more on their own. I love your videos and I think you can do so much better than this!

[@twinelle]

Hey! Totally understand where you're coming from. But, I've lived near skid row for a handful of years and have seen the effects of bandaid solutions provided to skid row and it has led to "negative" PERSONAL experiences. I have been assaulted, catcalled, and put in very uncomfortable and dangerous situations in this neighborhood. And not saying this happens in just dtla cause crime happens EVERYWHERE in LA! But, yes as a woman who runs errands in downtown by foot, I said what I said to ensure others know what to expect if they move into the neighborhood. I didn't give an expansive history lesson of the area because the sole purpose of the video was to give insight on the buildings with available rental units. I've done research on skid row, the historic buildings of DTLA, and the abandoned skyscrapers that just barely hitting social media because of the graffiti art. I do what I can to help those in my community, donate to women's shelters, and advocate for garment works countless times on my platforms. I do think it's unfair to expect content creators to HAVE to engage with the community and HAVE to advocate on certain issues when my content has nothing to do with that and it's also not my job to educate others. But, I agree, I could have included links or resources where people could donate or read more on skid row since I mentioned it in the video.

[@enoughblush]

​@@twinelleThank you for responding and recognizing where I'm coming from! I completely understand wanting to share any personal experiences as someone who moved into the community, that was not what I was critiquing. I actually agree with points that you bring up, such as not wanting to expect content creators to have to advocate for certain issues and educate your audiences! I brought up community engagement as a way to provide benefit of the doubt / attempt to not be accusatory, but rereading my own words, I absolutely think it makes sense why you might interpret it as an expression of an expectation. (Though I will say, I think that every human being should engage with / work to improve their own communities, regardless of influencer status!) I more so wanted to express that I do think it is a big oversight to not, as I said, at least *briefly* mention that there is quite a bit of history and context that exists, especially since you did take the time to bring it up in the first place. And I also hope that I'm making sense with my wording, apologies if I'm not, I'm sleepy this afternoon!

[@Wonderyear88]

Speaking to speak 😂

[@westy40]

I've been in LA/OC my entire life. The current state of Los Angeles is caused by the people who hold complete power from top to bottom, that is democratic governance. There is no other way around it, that's just a fact. I've seen the changes occur firsthand.

[@j.pearce3981]

"unhoused" implies it's someone else's responsibility to find them a home and get their lives together

[@twinelle]

How? It’s a preferable term to use instead of “homeless”

[@j.pearce3981]

@twinelle and why exactly is it preferable? 🤔 unhoused implies that housing was taken away from them rather than focusing on addiction and mental illness which are the real causes. Just another in a long list of semantic changes to make people feel better about themselves while not addressing the problem

[@StevenSievert]

[@twinelle]

My current dtla place is a lil over 1.7k sq ft and I’m paying $2.7k. I would do some research of different neighborhoods in LA and do self-guided tours. You’d be surprised what you can find!✨
