Stayed here for starters due to the monthly discount offered here (in contrast to L.A.’s ballistic long-term rents). My firm’s travel manager had pointed out that the monthly rates can be good. She also had a good previous experience referring people here on a longer-term basis. I learned that the list of those coming before me was pretty deep and varied. The hosts were always warm and welcoming, as I experienced during my stay.
The apartment meets some serious standards for those like me: the monthly discount; an abode and amenities well beyond those described; a host that was very easy to get ahold of (yet perfectly respectful of privacy); the safe, quiet and private surroundings and neighborhood (yet they’re it was so convenient to so many resources, even on foot).
Most of all, I’d say, for the working guest, what's cool is the chance to be on-property in a unit equal to the host’s. Not in a room, group of rooms, guesthouse, cottage in back, or converted pool-house or garage (one tucked inconveniently, say, way up in Westside L.A.'s surrounding hills and mountains--despite some incredible views to be had there).
It's nice that the apt, though larger than pictured, is not any larger. Also not pictured but so helpful: a new IKEA gloss-white desk, with drawers and return, anchoring a laptop-friendly workspace. There’s a full-size washer and dryer in the pantry; a totally private patio off the LR that’s charming; a full hanging closet; and other storage spaces about.
The host, Bill, kindly shared with me that, the more that he can know about a working guest ahead of time, the more likely he can discount a stay of one or more months. I forwarded that comment to the travel manager. It’s why I think I’ll be returning here.
Then again, the place is already well-priced for its convenient proximity to helpful resources (especially restaurants), attractions, and points of interest in L.A. You can find a lot about the location in all the other reviews and I second the message in all of them—that this apartment has a great location, making the place, actually, a very good buy!
