This place is amazing!
First, it has a great layout. The combined living and dining room is huge and the kitchen is full size. The master bedroom is also quite large and the second bedroom is more than sufficient. No cramped quarters here. The master bathroom has a convenient jack-and-jill setup that allows direct access from both bedrooms and there is a good sized half bath near the front door for guests. It is a first floor unit with both a front door for direct access to the street and a back door to the parking area, which has a covered space for every unit. The building is set back from the side walk and the room facing the street is the kitchen so there are no privacy concerns (as can sometimes be an issue for first floor units).
Second, the unit is well appointed and completely stocked. Hard wood floors throughout, comfortable and attractive furniture, stylish curtains and updated fixtures. Completely spotless. Big screen TV and audio, nice towels and linens, full set of dishes, cutlery, pots and pans, a coffee machine with capsules ready for use, beverages in the refrigerator, soap, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom, the list goes on. Worth noting that the master bath features an enormous combined tub and shower with a rain forest-style shower head and excellent water pressure.
Third, the location is ideal. The building is on a quiet residential street but only steps from a great organic supermarket and a stone's throw from the white hot LA Brea district.
Fourth, the owners are fantastic. Sonya and Leonard were friendly, responsive and accommodating at every step. 10/10.
Honestly, what more do you want?
