Ali‘s apartment is located at approx. 10 walking minutes from Brentwood, a very nice area of LA (however, it is beneficial to have a car, it’s LA after all). I spent 6 weeks there and had a nice time!
The apartment is spacious and clean and has a very nice view over the city (it‘s located on the 9th floor). There is a kitchen with an oven and a dishwasher (even though an old one), a spacious living/eating area and a bedroom as well as a bathroom.
The building is part of a three building complex and they even have a pool, however, I didn‘t use it so can‘t say too much about that..
Communication with Ali went very well, he always helped me out whenever I had a question.
Only downside is that the building itself is quite old already and needs a renovation soon. The walls and windows are very thin (there is a big road nearby and there sometimes are ambulances/police cars driving at night and their sirens wake you up). It didn‘t bother me too much but if you‘re a light sleeper, you might wanna bring earplugs.
There are washing machines in the building that work quite well, there is no reservation system but I never experienced all of them being taken so you can just go there and do your laundry.
All in all, I really enjoyed my stay in LA - thank you Ali!
