The apartment is as described in a residential neighborhood of West LA. The photos do it justice. It was clean on arrival and parking was provided in a dedicated space in an alley next to the building. The furnishing is spare but certainly adequate for a stay in LA. The kitchen is equipped with basic utensils, plates, etc. It is near the 405 so it is a good starting point for getting to various points around LA, Santa Monica etc. It was unusually cold the week in February we arrived and we were very happy to see that the apartment was well heated. As some of the reviews have pointed out, the apartment is in a building that has very thin walls so the activities in the other apartments can be heard distinctly, especially toilet flushing and showers. As for improvements, the apartment has flaps for window treatments which don't keep all external light out at night and each of the bedrooms could use a chest of drawers for unpacking clothes, although the bedrooms have large closets with top shelves. All in all, a straightforward accommodation that is presented accurately and a fair value for the price.
