I have rented this apartment twice. It's conveniently located to where I was working on location in Los Angeles.
Let me start by saying the photographs are absolutely accurate. It is a very nice looking, modest-sized studio that is centrally located in Hollywood -- right off Sunset Strip. I would recommend this place for an individual who is fine with having to drive (or Uber) to other neighborhoods to go out and about. The location is a particularly seedy area of Sunset, that includes a shady flop-motel on the corner and an assortment of street characters that - particularly at night - create an atmosphere that feels unsafe.
The building is attractive and is in the midst of upgrades, but in the meanwhile there are common areas that are a bit of a disaster. The parking garage is filled with construction materials - so much so that I had to park my car up against stacks of crates that have been sitting there for months. My apartment was located off a central courtyard/ atrium that has been pretty well fixed up. Unfortunately my most convenient access to the garage was via the rear stairwell (which was also how I gained access to the street). All I can say is anyone who visited was horrified by the condition of the stairs. They are covered in an old urine-soaked carpet that is so pungent and nauseating that I can only say that management should be ashamed.
This is not a cheap apartment. It looks really nice. And the hosts were very, very nice people. So, yeah, I stayed there twice. It made sense given its proximity to my work. I think it's a comfortable place for someone who wants to stay inside -- either a homebody or someone who has a demanding work schedule. If you're looking for any atmosphere in the surrounding neighborhood, you'll find it, but it will likely be of the unwelcome variety.
