I want to start off with the pros about this apartment.
The apartment complex is pretty big, 5 buildings and fairly new, I was told by the staff that it is about a year old. The amenities are amazing, there is a huge gym, pool, sky deck (I was working while visiting so it was nice going up there for breaks) and lounging areas. The entire property was very secure. You have to have your small remote to get into the buildings and for the elevators to work and take you to different floors within the buildings. The apartment unit itself was spacious and has a washer and dryer. The location is great because you have restaurants and coffee shops at walking distance (that was great for me since I did not rent a car while in LA). Most places I went to were a short 10-15 minute Uber ride so that was a plus.
The cons of this apartment unit
To start the check in was very quick, it felt rushed. I messaged Chris questions I had or I would just figure it out on my own. I arrived for check in after the apartment had been cleaned, everything looked nice until I decided to take my shoes off and explore it a little more. The floors were filthy dirty, after only taking a couple of steps barefoot my feet were dark from how dirty the floors were. Then I looked around and the floors looked like they had never been cleaned or at least that they had not been cleaned in a while. I booked this apartment for 3 weeks, the first 3 days I walked around in flip flops but I realized that I did not want to do that the entire time I was there so I just went ahead and cleaned the floors myself (I was annoyed but happy to have clean floors). This particular unit is located in building 5 at the very end of the building right next to a contractor building materials and hardware business (BMC). All 3 windows in this apartment unit overlook that business and Monday-Friday starting at 6am you hear loud forklifts and machinery and guys yelling. You hear that pretty much all day until they close around 5pm. This next issue I had with this apartment, I understand was something no one can do anything about but just for caution if you are looking to book, the upstairs neighbor would literally start stomping around their whole apartment at night. It was like clock work, it started around 9:30pm or 10pm and stopped around midnight sometimes 1am when I could finally fall asleep (sometimes it sounded like that person was working out because it sounded like jumping at times). I definitely would not write this on my review because you can't choose your neighbors but it was that loud and that bad that I just feel like at least a word of caution is necessary. For my check out, I actually ended up cutting my stay 6 days short because of the issues I encountered and stayed some where else. I notified Chris of that and verified those changes through Airbnb. I was told to just leave both the garage remote and door remote in the apartment unit when I leave. I borrowed a friends car to go get my stuff so I parked in the garage and started loading up my stuff when I realized that you need both remotes 1) To get in the elevator down to the parking garage and 2) actually leave the parking garage. I couldn't do that because the remotes were already left in the unit but luckily as I was trying to figure out how to get to the parking garage since the elevator was not working without that remote, someone offered to help me a buzzed me down to the garage and opened the garage gates for me to drive out. I would definitely recommend this place if none of the above bothers you but I personally would not book again.
