I stayed at Jadon’s place for more than one month and decided to share a more detailed review than I would normally do because places for longer stay absolutely need this.
1. Clear and timely instructions for move in and move out. Jason provided fast responses.
2. Full set of furniture. Kitchen ready to use.
3. Parking spot if needed for no additional charge (which is fair given the price for a month)
4. Laundry facility in the building (luckily, it’s also without coins, but with a card paying system)
5. Mailing address and secure delivery (important if you e.g. want to have local SIM card delivered)
6. A good level of autonomy. Chances are everything would work and you’ll concentrate on whatever you’re up to in LA/Santa Monica
7. Buses going to the direction of UCLA are many and the stops are close to the flat
8. Grocery shop 7 min away on foot
9. Not perfectly clean. Especially bathroom (occasional black fungus spots in the shower) and floors (any white socks’ soles would become black in a matter of 5 min walking around the flat)
8. Always stuffy air and rather unpleasant smell (hints of dish washer detergent) in the foyer. I’m not allergic, but it was unpleasant.
9. Stuffy and very dusty air in the corridor leading to the flat. I have to say it was extremely unpleasant.
10. The apartment tends to get hot and stuffy on a sunny day. Air conditioner in the bedroom helps, but sometimes also disseminates not a most pleasant smell.
11. Noise from the vivid cafe life downstairs and around :)
Overall, Jason’s place is not a dream flat, but rather a practical choice.
