I want to give a fair, but truthful review because Amir was so nice and tried to help fix things. I will start with the positives.
Pros:
- Great location in Westwood, very walkable
- Even though the units were on a busy street, I couldn't hear much noise
but maybe light car noise. Overall pretty quiet
- Spacious units
- My unit had a nice view
- Onsite laundry
- Secure parking with your own assigned spot
- Many restaurants within walking distance
- Several gyms, stores and Starbucks close by
- Amir (the owner) was responsive to messages
- Amir was open to fixing things that were an issue. He was willing to paint
my room for me as well as send a cleaning person, but it would have been
inconvenient because I needed to move out of the room
Cons:
- Unit 308 was extremely dirty
- Walls, doors, light switches, cabinets, bath tub, mattress protector, etc
- Nothing had been wiped down. I started wiping things myself
- Dishes were mismatched and chipped
- No spare towels or sheets and they were old and worn
- Some of the other units I was shown were also in need of painting and
cleaning
I really wanted to stay because of the location and Amir was willing to fix everything while I was there, but I just couldn't get past the uncleanliness of the place. Especially when I saw the mattress protector on my bed. I was pretty disturbed by how dirty and unsanitary it looked. Not all of the rooms I saw were dirty to this degree, but still needed some TLC.
Again, Amir was really nice and accommodating. Hopefully he will consider my advice I gave and not wait until someone is already in the unit to fix. These could be really nice places if he does!
