We really enjoyed our stay as a family of five at the Southwestern. The location was fantastic -- walkable to the Grove, pan pacific park, and tons of places on Beverly. The apartment was very comfortable -- spacious and sufficient for us and our three kids (one of whom slept in a portable crib and another of whom slept on a futon that we brought with us.) Parking in the rear was a big help as well. Also, the designated work place was a huge benefit for me since I work from home. I was able to comfortably set up my laptop, monitor and printer at/under the desk area provided.
A few notes on this unit -- it is in an older building so you may find that there aren't enough electrical outlets. So definitely bring splitters and/or extension cords if you know you have several devices to plug in or charge. Also, if you plan to be here during the summer, you may want to bring an extra fan for the second bedroom which tends to get warm. Otherwise, highly recommend!
