    I couldnt be happier with my choice if choosing Maxfield as my home. Moving back to LA from Miami, i needed to be in DTLA and after several places I looked at, Maxfield was the place i needed to call home. The process was easy, the units not me tion atunning, and well kept! The team that helped mw out were froenly, professional, efficient, and kind. Kennedy, my leasing agent was the best! She made wonders for me to mive in sooner than expected! Love the building and te decor! Looking foward to this new chapter with Maxfield. Thank you!
