I stayed here for 13 nights. The listing is accurate overall, but there are some things I just hadn't considered which made my stay not so great.
Pros:
- gated parking is a HUGE plus, never had any problem parking a large car there, even when aother car was parked next to my space (which was not very often)
- location is central to many LA attractions
- WiFi never failed me
- place was clean on arrival
- bed was comfortable, although slightly on the short side
- most basic equipment is provided
Cons:
- "Laptop friendly workspace; A table or desk with space for a laptop and a chair that’s comfortable to work in" - this is just false; no desk or any sort of decent laptop space; the only place to sit down with a laptop and a mouse is the glass cocktail table, but it's uncomfortably high; forget about doing work for extended periods
- no microwave; kitchen could use more essentials overall, such a big knife or oil
- windows do not close shut completely so the apartment is not soundproof at all and can get cold at night; neighbors are quiet, but there is construction going on right next to the building and the back alley can get loud, especially on the morning when trash is being taken out
- neighborhood is alright, but not what I expected; did not feel 100% safe and definitely not clean with trash strewn all over the place
- place is not as modern as advertised; it doesn't look too bad, but the building overall is not new and it shows
- lots of closet space, but only about 5 or so hangers are provided; I could use another 10 and they would easily fit
- no AC; this was not a huge problem, but on hotter days the place got rather stuffy; the column fan is not a substitute
- the TV is so small it looks like it's there just for the photos
- never really felt as if one could "live a local's life" there with the apartment being quite small and lacking some things I consider home basics
