Pros:
- location is great , close to alot of fun bars, clubs, restaurants, 7 min walk from bottega louie and grand central market
- spacious apartment
- great night views
- close to the trash chute like right by it
Overall it worked for me great! I enjoyed the jankyness of the building and unkemptness
Cons: (more like FYIs)
- location is not like "nice" like the street its on is kinda dirty, and alot of homeless, its not as nice as the street whole foods is on (4 min walk) which is a bit cleaner but i had no issues with safety, it was a bit sketch at first till i got used to it. Im a petite girl who likes wearing heels and dresses and had no issues walking around the area at like 11pm/12am so i was okay with it but yeah its noticably dingier than other streets.
- apartment wasnt cleaned properly. I ended up getting covid while i was in LA so hopefully the owner cleaned it right this time but upon my arrival to airbnbs i clean them and this place floor was still super dirty, hadnt been mopped and there was a ton of pet hair on their couch, the sheets smelled weird, like i dont think they cleaned at all. So be ready to clean it yourself. Also weird brown stains of leak? Mold? On ceiling.
- building its in is not super secure like the front desk will not really stop anyone who walks in, i think only homeless , no key fob needed to get into building and parking space not included with stay so you will pay either $10 a day or $225 a month if your doing month stays.
- building not maintained well, elevator buttons missing, elevators taking forever to come or even doors glitching and not shutting, laundry room is not glamorous, pretty dirty and neglected, gym not cleaned well equipment broken or sketchy to use, like the owner of building does not care about condition of building .
I enjoyed my stay like i said these cons didnt bother me im pretty low maintenance and still had an amazing time in LA but good things to know for anyone who might have issue
