Verified Reviews of Freehand Los Angeles

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:

"Relaxing comfortable accessibility and friendly staff"

Overall Score4.0/ 5

We were in town for a wedding with friends and this location was perfectly located to everything else. The staff were friendly but Noah at the front desk was exceptional. He was kind, gentle and supportive. He assisted us with heating up our meals, print our Boarding passes and was available to assist with any questions. He never frowned but served with a smile on his face. My wife said he has a kind and loving heart. We will definitely go back here.
