My wife and I stayed for a week in one of the studio units of this West Side building while we looked for a permanent place to live after two years abroad. After making arrangements with Amir, all contact was handled through the property manager, who provided his cell phone number for help by text message 24/7.

Everything at the three-story complex is automated. When you check in, you are given an entry code for the complex and a separate entry code for your unit. A garage door opener is placed inside the unit that allows you to park your car in a safe underground parking structure in an assigned spot. The property manager was cheerful and cordial over text, but we never met him in person.

The property is well-maintained. The courtyard is clean. The unit was nicely appointed in an executive style, with hardwood floors and black furniture. The mattress was comfortable and the bedding soft and elegant. Water pressure was great; the toilet and sink worked perfectly; the central air was powerful enough to keep up with summer heat; and numerous appliances were provided.

The property is located in a Persian district, with numerous nice places to eat within a short walk. Hundreds of establishments on Eat24 deliver to the address and it is a short drive to coffee shops, fast food, and a wonderful taco truck.

While it was clear that several residents, against the rules, did smoke in common areas, the smell of smoke never penetrated the unit. The unit remained quiet at all hours during our stay, with no street noise nor noise from neighbors. We did not use the laundry facilities, so I cannot speak to their quality.

The elevator leaves a lot to be desired. It is run-down (although it was being repainted while we were there), and is temperamental: it will occasionally refuse to move for several seconds, then move quickly between floors and halt with a startling thud. The trash chute does not extend to the third floor, so you have to descend a flight of stairs to discard your trash through the chute.

The furniture in the apartment is attractive at first glance but obviously of very poor quality. The coffee table had a very large dent, exposing plywood, that had not been repaired. The surface of the TV stand / dresser was scuffed and had not been repainted. When the nightstand drawers were opened, it became clear that they were made of low-quality plywood tacked together (my wife scratched her arm quite badly on a sharp, unsanded point inside a drawer, drawing blood.)

While the management was considerate enough to provide shampoo, conditioner, soap, and toilet paper, they may be insufficient for your stay, so be prepared to restock yourselves. The cleaning fee of $135 seemed a little high to us.

All in all, I can recommend this property for medium-term stays on the West Side of Los Angeles.
