I booked James’ place for 3 months as a temporary place to stay while relocating to Los Angeles. This apartment is fine for a short stay but would not recommend for any longer than just a few nights. The pictures of the unit in question did not match the unit that we were given. We were told that it was an upstairs unit when in fact the apartment was on the ground floor. Upon entry the apartment had a strong smell of cat urine. The insulation in the building is very poor and neighbors can be heard talking and laughing at all hours. Two weeks in, we were moved to an upstairs unit, which had its own set of issues; presence of insects (brown widow spiders) and the frequent smell of marijuana coming from the courtyard. We had to buy our own insecticide and mop as the floors were filthy. Our immediate neighbor sang and played the piano as late as 3 am. The parking space provided is microscopic and could barely fit a compact car if parked completed against the cement wall. On a positive note, the apartment is conveniently located and in proximity to the 405.
