I stayed at Monica's for several months, and can say that the location is fantastic: close to the highway for commuting, with grocery stores 1 block away on Wilshire, a short drive to Santa Monica/beaches, and close to UCLA which is why I was in LA. The unit is spacious and convenient with a full kitchen & living area and separate bedroom, the apartment complex nice with a front and back gate, and the street is quiet and residential.
That said: the unit might be a bit rough around the edges for some, and I want to share a couple notes that make me hesitant to stay in this unit again, particularly due to the price:
- the parking spot is fairly tight in the back, and blocks the back entrance which might be a bit weird because people have to walk around your car
- the bedroom door doesn't fully close
- the shower frame broke during my stay
- it stays pretty dark and cold during the day because it is a bottom floor unit
- there are a few miscellaneous empty boxes/bags/appliances in the kitchen and hallway closets. Would be nice to clear that out.
- I had some packages get stolen off my front porch, likely by a neighbor because it was behind the locked front gate
- the bathroom toilet takes a really long time to flush & makes weird noises
- the bathroom sink doesn't drain well
- there are a few broken blinds in the living room & kitchen
- there are limited cleaning supplies (no vacuum)
Overall though, this place is convenient and nice for a multi-month stay like mine.
