The apartment description is spot on, cozy little spot for sure. The neighbors above can be heard through the floor and come home late at night (stomping around, arguing, etc... ) and all outside noises sound like they are directly indoors with you.
The description of the neighborhood is fluffed, it doesn't give you a warm feeling to walk about at night. Definitely not the safest area in LA, pretty much on the line of South Central area.
Would be better if it were in a better location and didn't have paper thin walls to hear every neighbor around you and everything outside (Traffic flying down Leimert, any air traffic, and people walking by windows)
