We had a wonderful stay in Alejandra and Arnulfo’s apartment. We are four sisters in our 70s with spouses, one of whom is in his mid-80s. We came to LA for my/our niece’s ordination and a sisters’ reunion. The apartment has been recently renovated and most of the furnishings and kitchen supplies are new and of high quality. The beds and linens were very comfortable and firm enough for bad backs. The unit was very clean. The gated parking was very helpful and the location was ideal, with easy access to the 10, which connects to almost every other freeway in LA. We felt very safe and the street was quiet. The hosts were very helpful and responded to inquiries quickly.
The only reason we are not giving the unit five stars is that the bedrooms are not set up for older people. There were no luggage racks or other surfaces on which to put suitcases and no drawers for clothing. While the closets are large, there weren’t many hangers so we ended up living out of our suitcases on the floor. Also, while there were eight of us, there are only six chairs for the dining table. This was clear in the online pics, but we had hoped to find other chairs we could pull up to the table. Also, note that there are not two bedside tables and lamps in each bedroom.
The apartment is really lovely and ideal for younger people. We have made some suggestions to the hosts and if they follow through, we would not hesitate to highly recommend this apartment to all.
