We made a last minute reservation for a 12 days stay in LA. We wanted to be fairly close to UCLA, and this apartment fit the bill.
Check-in and check-out could not have been easier and seamless, and a basket of goodies held our appetite in check before we could shop for food. Communication was excellent and responsive.
The location was perfect: Trader's Joe, Whole Foods, Target are within walking distance as well as multiple restaurants, coffee shops, the UCLA botanical garden, the Hammer Museum and its fabulous restaurant.
One cannot stay in LA without a car and a parking space was provided, it was close to the elevator and the elevator was close to the apartment entrance, and it was very easy to step out into the street from the apartment as well.
The apartment is not charming, but rather functional and convenient. It felt to us like a hotel rather than a home. Plenty of staples were provided in the pantry, there was all the cleaning supplies, shampoo, soap that you could possibly want.
The kitchen lights had to be kept on because it was quite dark, the photos on the listing showed a brighter place, but to be fair it could be that when the sun is lower on the horizon in the Fall and Winter it is brighter. There was enough light in the living room and bedroom, but we spent as much as possible on the balcony. That was the most cheerful place with the sound of the fountain and the palm trees.
We had made the reservation for three persons but were just two in the end. It is fortunate: the sofa is not a sleeper, and it would have been rough for an adult to sleep 12 nights on that couch.
We're knocking a star on Cleanliness, the apartment was clean but the building itself is a bit tired. The hallways have stained carpet, trash and recyclables are not always well managed in the trash room by other tenants, and there is an artificial grapefruit door that permeates the air.
In the end, thumbs up on location and convenience!
