My wife and I stayed for 12 days while work was being conducted on our home in a nearby area of Los Angeles. As such our needs may be slightly different than a leisure traveler and similar to those of a business traveler. My wife typically works from home several days a week rather than commuting to her office. The living room contains a desk suitable for work, however it is located next to a window unit air conditioner that was so loud you thought you were standing on an airport tarmac. On a couple of days it was rather warm and an attempt to cool off was thwarted by the AC. Too loud to have phone conversations, Skype or keep from freezing your face off since the desk it next to the window AC unit. Later that evening the loud AC interfered with watching TV. So you either have comfort or buy good deodorant!
As previous reviewers have pointed out, the apartment is in a mixed use residential/industrial area. Consequently a couple of adjacent blocks seem a bit dodgy with scrap metal recycling, salvage materials, and a myriad of old pickup trucks, RVs and old vehicles. The neighborhood is a typical urban working class neighborhood, with the requisite dogs barking and kids playing in the street most evenings. The neighborhood is neither unsafe or unkempt as others have implied.
The unit itself was clean with a bit of a utilitarian vibe but well stocked with dishes, pots, pans etc. No dishwasher or laundry facilities and the bathroom could use a few hooks to hang towels, pajamas or toiletry bags.
Pros:
•	Location to Burbank Airport is stellar. I had to fly out on business twice while staying there; once from the commercial terminal at Burbank ($5.50 on Lyft) and once at the private terminal…literally at the end of the block. On the day I flew private I walked to the tarmac/terminal located 1.5 blocks away! Bonus if you are flying one of the private companies who operate from this annex.
•	Close to a Vallarta grocery store. If you’ve ever been to Mexico it is similar to Mega or Chedraul chains. Latin foods predominate but they have most American staples as well. Great ceviche and Pico de Gallo!
•	Large shower with good water pressure and plenty of sheets and towels
Cons:
•	Occasional noise (particularly in the evening) from planes landing at Burbank Airport (that’s the tradeoff for being conveniently close
•	Furniture is a bit garage sale and mis-matched for my taste, but it is clean and as presented in the photos. Think wanna be shabby chic but not quite there.
•	A washer/dryer would be a great bonus. That said there is a laundromat next to the afore mentioned grocery store.
Overall a good stay.
