This place is the perfect size for 1 traveler or a close couple. It was just me, but I could share the space comfortably with a close friend or my partner. The apartment is cozy and feels super luxe, perfectly designed. The bed & bedding is great and having windows that ACTUALLY open in a rental unit is the best for the weather this time of year. Super easy to check in & out and it's nice that the entry gate locks from the inside and out on both ends of the building so you really are in a secured space. A quick 5 min drive to Sunset Blvd & Silver Lake, 12-15 min to Arts District and right off the 101 so easy to get to without the noise of being that close.
Some have mentioned it's a rough-ish neighborhood - well yeah, there's definitely some grit to it but it's not the worst place by any means that you could find yourself. I am a early30s female and was comfortable walking to/from my car myself both early morning, late night and grabbing an uber out front for late night dinner reservations. As with anywhere, be aware of your surroundings, don't act like a wanker and you'll be fine. Would I recommend you go for a run or grab a coffee and walk around here? No, but that's mostly because there are much better places to do those. Go to the silver lake reservoir for a run and head the 5 min up to Sunset to get a coffee and walk there.
I could see how parking could be challenging, especially if you are not used to street parking. I had rented a car and personally had no issues with it, but maybe I got lucky! Brush up on your parallel parking skills and don't rent a gigantic truck or SUV and expect to park it effortlessly here (or anywhere in LA).
I had some noise issues that I addressed with Saedi directly on Saturday night that were a downside, but overall didn't take away tremendously from the stay. VERY important to note too that I am the only one in the reviews with anything to say about noise, so I would not let my one off experience prevent you from booking!
