We were two people in the apartment for a month and we can not complain. The apartment is absolutely central. Shopping and fast food are perfectly accessible on foot or by bus. The Walk of Fame is just a 5 minute walk away. There is also the metro in the direction of downtown.
Mark, the property manager was absolutely nice and accommodating. He helps you immediately and answers as quickly as he can.
If you prefer the beach and don't have a car, you should actually look for something else. From there it is about 1 1/2 hours by public transport.
Small suggestions for improvement:
A few more pillows would not hurt for the bed. Also, our kitchen didn't have as many knives and little things like a peeler or baking paper would be perfect for the kitchen.
