We stayed there March 4-10, 2017.
PROS:
1) The apartment is in a great location. It is located on a quieter street just steps from Hollywood Blvd and the metro station. We walked a lot of places. There are great restaurants within walking distance well.
2) The place is very clean.
3) Mark, the manager is nice and helpful.
CONS -
We got to see Mark the manager so much because there were so many maintenance issues with this place.
1) THE BED is old and falling apart
* The bed slats kept falling through and when we tried to fix them we saw they had previously been duct-taped several times. Every time we went to sit on the bed to get in, the edges popped through and the mattress sagged to the floor.
* The mattress is very uncomfortable and hard. There is no protective cover on the mattress. The sheets and comforter are worn out and old. The elastic on the fitted sheet is stretched and the sheet kept coming off during the night.
2) NO HEAT
* The first two nights we were there the temperatures were in the 40s and it was cold in the apt and the heat did not come on. The building manager came and lit the pilot light. Then the heater was smoking, burning off the paint or whatever, and the unit filled with smoke and the smoke alarm was set off. We were not able to heat the apartment that night and had to sleep in sweats.
3) NO HOT WATER IN SHOWER
* The hot water in the shower was tepid and we had to take cool showers the first 2 days until the plumber came and fixed it.
4) NO AIR CONDITIONER
*By our fourth day there it got very hot and the air conditioner did not cool at all. It was a portable unit. The maintenance man came and looked at it and said it was full of water and needed emptying. He took it and emptied it but it still never got the room cool. There was a note on it warning us not to lower the temp or we would be liable for the damages.. I was sweating the last two nights we were there. I was also sweating when we were trying to get ready for dinner. The temp in the room was 79. So, if you like it cooler than 79, you're out of luck.
The building manager Mark was nice and came to see about us when we called, but it really became aggravating that we had to deal with the manager daily, as well as a plumber, and maintenance people while trying to enjoy a vacation.
