It’s a great place, in a great location. Should note that it’s a basement apartment but it does have a nice outside courtyard and seating area. It’s got a great washer dryer, the beds are comfortable and the sheets and linens were ironed and super clean.
My only issue was communication with the property management. They told me they wanted to come and build some ikea type furniture for the apartment, I said I’d rather not with all my stuff there and me not, and then they referred me to the house rules which said I didn’t have a choice. Ok. (Turned out to be a nice tv console.) But then they did it again two days later except that day I’d worked a London all nighter with the time difference because of work I’m doing with LA. They said they wanted to drop some stuff off. I said can you please by come later but they showed up anyways, twice.
I understand that they have a property to manage but it is a premium property at this price and I was only there for a week, so I was expecting some amount of privacy. I’m not sure why they couldn’t have scheduled to build the furniture on a day the property wasn’t occupied. Same for dropping off stuff in the crawlspace.
I guess what I’m saying is that it was a managed-Airbnb type of relationship where you’re kind of just a body, with another one who will replace you the following week, and there isn’t a whole lot of consideration there.
This is the first review I’ve written that skews towards the negative. I’m not taking a lot of joy writing it, and took a couple days to think on it, but in the end decided I should share publicly so maybe things will change in their approach and you won’t have the same experience.
There’s a lot to like about this place.
