I am an assistant professor of economics from Sweden and was visiting a friend in Los Angeles for two months, also wanted to isolate myself and work on a book project . I rented the apartment without seeing it first, taking a risk.

I was pleasantly surprised by the apartment. It was very clean (which is important to me) and modern and has a nice open floor-plan, creating the feeling of space. The bathroom was clean and the toilet and shower both worked well. For the quality of the apartment, the price was very reasonable.

The apartment was well furnished and management was helpful. The apartment is quit and neighbors appear to be good people, many young students, and I felt safe. TV and internet worked for me, and internet was fast. The TV itself was a bit small however.

The location is nice, busy street close to Westwood village and many restaurants and cafes.

The main disadvantage of this apartment is that it has no balcony. Otherwise, it was the best apartment I have rented in my trips to the U.S.
