Philip referred us to Marcy, the property manager, for any issues and Marcy was always responsive and helpful! When our plumbing stopped working one day during our third month there, Mary had a plumber over to fix it that same day. I never met either of them face to face, which was actually fine with us. We never felt like we were being "babysat", we were trusted to live in this apartment as if it was our own.

The apartment was clean when we arrived and had all the basic necessities - pots and pans and other kitchen ware, beds, some storage options, wifi, laundry facilities, a decent sized kitchen, etc. It's was also nice to have two floors for everyone to spread out a little more. The door operates with a passcode which was really helpful so no one had to worry about losing keys or making copies. One less thing to worry about when you're going out drinking for the night or just trying to get through the door after a long day at work.

Though the apartment served our need for a cheap place to live for the summer, it wasn't quite "glamorous". We got what we paid for. Living there for three months, several things broke under normal use - legs on chairs and tables came loose, blinds in kitchen broke off when we tried to twist them to a closed position, screen to window popped off randomly one night. Only one room has an air conditioning unit and the rest of the house gets hot (It's LA). If you're picking rooms, go for that one, because while the rest of the house was pretty hot, that room was nice and cool. Every room has a ceiling fan, though, which you don't always find here, so that was helpful. The downstairs bathroom is very small. The wifi is usable but often lagged during live streaming or quit if too many of us were using it at once.

The apartment community is fine. I liked that our front door didn't lead directly to the street so we had more privacy and felt a little safer. The laundry is just two washers and dryers in a little shed towards the back of the complex, but it worked most of the time. Parking is very limited but my car was safe while parked there and street parking is doable if you dedicate the time to searching for a spot and walking to and from.

Overall, the apartment served its purpose and allowed us to live and work in Hollywood for the summer without too much hassle or too much money out of pocket. Any complaints we had were relatively minor.
