Bright, modern unit in small apartment building. Is as it appears - clean and tasteful, but a touch sparse. Large living room and roomy bedrooms. Beds seem to be memory foam and are very comfortable. Lots of pillows. Well-equipped kitchen with 6 cup basket coffee maker and provided coffee pods, plus an electric kettle and toaster oven, as well as usual appliances. Dining table could double as a desk if you needed it. Toilet paper and tissues were provided, but no paper towels. Two bathrooms with liquid hand soap and in-shower shampoo/conditioner. No bar soap. Two parking spaces, and a front patio. Lots of windows. Laundry room outside of unit with coin-op. We left washer pods. Donna supplies dishwasher pods.
Convenient area, with convenience stores and restaurants near by. Close to 405 and UCLA. 20 minutes or so to the ocean. The parking spot is labeled with the unit number. #1 is on the alley on the side of the unit, parallel to the building. Others have mentioned noise and you do hear the people above. They were quiet during sleeping hours, but you'll know when they are up and about. The exterior noise was not noticeable with the in-room a/c units operating. The unit was cool and comfortable.
We were confused about where to park and Donna was very responsive. Read the check-in instructions ahead of time so you know the lockbox code and where to park. The other unit needs access through a gate, so those renters need that code too. Probably all lockboxes are like this, but after entering the code, slide the open button and with your other fingers, tilt the cover open.
Other than a few routine maintenance issues, which I let Donna know about and which did not affect our stay, the place was great. It is not brand new, but has a new kitchen, new sinks, and new furniture. If it were my place, I'd add an area rug in the living room and maybe a few more paintings/prints. Others might like it just as it is.
