Good stay. Extremely cheap monthly rent considering the location. I paid 2750 p month including all utilities for a 3bd 2ba. None of the rooms had central heating and only the upstairs bedrooms (2 of 3) had unit a/c.
The landlord and management company was very nice. To be approved for a lease and not have to transfer every month, you should make at least 3.5x the rent in verifiable income. I think this is obvious but it is not for the vast majority of people. The rent on the lease is 3500-4000 so unless you make 16000 per month (192k per year) verifiable income on a W-2 or 1040 tax return for the last several years, you will not be approved. This is standard for Los Angeles. Illicit or unverifiable, under the table income will not help you.
The property manager and the repair guy are great and if you need anything they will help. Parking is very serious here. Only one spot is available per person and it is ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN to park in someone else's spot even for a minute. If you have guests, they will have to park outside the complex. If you have more than one car, you will have to arrange monthly parking.
I felt the kitchen was on the smaller side, and the downstairs bathroom was not very nice/kind of outdated compared to the upstairs one.
The Wi-Fi in our unit was great, but all the routers were in our unit. I heard from the neighbors that the Wi-Fi was unacceptable in the other units, so be aware of that if you require good wireless for work. The unit you will be assigned is random.
The location is excellent. A 5-10 minute walk from two metro stations on the red line. Right next to US-101. Very close to Sunset and Hollywood Blvd. However be aware that there is some poverty and homelessness in the neighborhood. The neighborhood has a more commercial feel to it than residential. Very close to Hollywood Hills and Griffith Park.
