We stayed in this apartment for two weeks during a remodel of our own home which is several miles away. For those of you from out of town, this apartment is in Glendale which is a city within the greater Los Angeles area. It is a shortish drive (20 minutes) to the downtown, Hollywood and 45 minutes-1 hour+ to the Westside, Santa Monica, and the beach. If you are looking for the LA of palm trees and movie stars, this ain’t it. In psychic terms, Glendale is about as far removed from that as can be. Yes, you can walk to restaurants and the mall, but they are the same ones you can find all over the U.S. On the upside, the area is clean, safe and has plenty of amenities within walking distance.
The apartment itself is a standard issue corporate apartment with a full kitchen and washer and dryer. While it is billed as luxury accommodations, the fFour Seasons it is not. It’s functional and comfortable enough. The one thing is the bedding. It was so cheap and uncomfortable that we brought our own bedding from home and slept on that.
In short, the place is fine. Feels like a decent spot for a young exec who needs a crash pad in Glendale with aesthetics being secondary.
