Alex’s apartment is in a central location in East Hollywood w/ a spot in the buildings garage. We went to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica/Venice, Arts District, Culver City, Sawtelle, Koreatown, Pasadena, and they were all easy to get to. Definitely recommend driving around and not walking especially if by yourself and at night.
There was a bit of a delay with check-in and we weren’t able to get into the apartment until 4pm. Alex was flexible with checking out & I was able to stay an extra hour.
The building is quite new & has luxe amenities (washer dryer, oven, dishwasher, toaster oven), and is adequately stocked if you plan to do groceries and cook. The apartment also has more amenities than it says it does which was a pleasant surprise! (shampoo/conditioner/body wash, dryer (not just washer), dishwasher, hairdryer)
The beds are comfortable & showers spacious. The 2nd bedroom doesn’t have any storage space/closets/dresser, so I ended up living out of my suitcase.
The apartment has all the amenities and is great for shorter stays & if you have a car. If you’re looking to experience living in a local’s home, it might not be for you, because it feels like it’s mostly used as an Airbnb.
