I stayed at Julia and Joe’s for my first 3 months in LA whilst starting a new job. Many things stood out to me and made my stay the best it could be.
The apartment is located in arguably the most central location in LA. It’s 12 minutes away from downtown, 15 from Venice and Santa Monica, and a 5 minute walk to downtown Culver city where there are plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants. There is a supermarket (Vons) a 1 minute drive away and an outdoor shopping center also just a 1 minute drive away with a home goods store, CVS, and more. With everyone saying LA is the worst city to drive in, this apartment proves all of them wrong.
The green neighborhood is great for walks and is very safe. Palms is a series of residential streets with mostly apartment buildings but the surrounding neighborhoods are all houses. There is also a viewpoint just south of the apartment which overlooks all of LA.
Lastly, the apartment itself was very cosy, and I would definitely recommend it to others.
