I stayed at Frank’s place for four months (Oct-Jan) with a friend and my dog. It’s a modern, clean, no-frills unit. Frank was a great host and he always communicated with us promptly. We were grateful to find a place that allowed our dog and the neighborhood has plenty of green patches for walks.
The apartment is in a great central location for getting around LA. Perfect for visitors who want to check out different areas of the city. Lovely neighbors, too! The free street parking outside of the building only allows one-hour parking from 8am-8pm Monday-Saturday. There is free street parking about one block away that has no time limits, just street sweeping hours once a week.
The bedroom window faces the back of a few restaurants & their parking lot. Luckily there’s a nice big hedge that blocks the lot and gives you a nice view from bed. This may not be the best place to sleep for a light sleeper as people dine and chat in the parking lot at night and they get deliveries very early in the morning. I’m a deep sleeper and I was okay.
We appreciated the fact that the sofa in the living room was a pullout couch. It was great to have the privacy of a one-bedroom but still accommodate two people. The entire place has great large windows (even in the bathroom!) that let in a ton of light during the day.
The bathroom is modern and updated. Loved the shower stall (no bathtub). There is a ton of storage and closets - great for our long stay. If you plan on doing laundry you will need quarters for the building’s shared machines. There’s also a laundromat within walking distance.
The living area was too hot for comfort when we arrived at the end of September. Once it got cooler that wasn’t an issue because we could open windows, but keep that in mind if you are staying during the warmer months. There is a remote-controlled AC unit in the bedroom, and a heater in the living room.
