We arrived and were pleased that it was easy to get into the apartment with a lock box. We also found a garage door opener so we were able to easily park in the garage. However any vehicle larger than a sedan is not going to fit. And I highly suggest everybody but the driver get out before you pull into the garage because only one door is going to be able to open. The kitchen looked clean and the living space looked clean. We immediately found things on the floor in the bedroom like lipgloss and hair pins that were obviously from a previous tenant. So I’m not sure who we are paying $100 for a cleaning but they are not doing a very good job cleaning the floors since it obviously had not been vacuumed.
There were plenty of clean towels that were soft so I was happy about that!
They were kind to leave a few bottles of water in the fridge and had some granola bars and snacks on the counter which is always appreciated.
We sat to relax and watch some TV but the street noise was unbelievably loud. We had to turn the volume up very high just to be able to hear the TV. In the bedroom the windows are so thin they might as will not even be there. It sounds like the cars are driving 6 inches in front of the window - and this is not a minor road, this is La Cienega which is an extremely busy street 24 hours a day.
This owner really needs to spend the money to replace the windows in the apartment both in the main bedroom and the living room. It will be a increase in the value of the building so it’s not like they’re throwing money away. But they might get return visitors that way - I would choose another place to stay over this one until the windows are better and the sound problem is fixed. Once those windows are replaced and the place is quiet and they get someone who cleans thoroughly, it will be a fantastic place to stay! Until then don’t forget your earplugs because otherwise you will not be able to sleep. However the bed is super comfortable with a memory foam topper so sleeping is nice once you block out the sound!!
