Based on other reviews, I was kind of iffy with the area. I stayed here four days and it was a nice, quiet apartment and area. People mentioned dogs next door and their barking, but they're only outside during the day and they rarely bark. Next door meaning the house behind the apartment, not the apartment in the same building. It's a safe area and no noise outside. The neighborhood seems family oriented. The parking spot was a plus. There are alot of restaurants, food trucks and department stores on Whittier just a block away, very convenient. The apt was very clean and amenities were nice. I would definitely stay here again.
