This place is very convenient to the 405 and I-10. The hosts are very hospitable and quickly respond. I had trouble when I first moved in with the internet 24 hours they had someone from Spectrum to fix it. It is working very well now.
The place is very sunny. I like sunny but was glad to own black out blinds because during the day the sun beats in strongly.
The sunlight comes in only from the front doors and with the doors open you look right onto the bed. The apartment is on the first level and faces the street so people walking by can look straight onto your bed if the doors are open.
There isn't a lot pf ventilation in the apartment unless you keep the front doors open and the porch is right next to the communal recycle bin so if you cook and open the windows it is easy for flies to come in. This happened a few times so we kept the doors closed most of the time.
There is parking under the garage but as another reviewer mentioned spaces are tight so if you need extra room to get in and out of your car then parking on the street is more viable. There were usually spaces on the street and the street wasn't metered or permit only so we used that option a lot. You just have to be careful to read the times re. street cleaning.
Laundry is adjacent in the main building. The machines are operated by either using quarters or downloading an app that draws money directly from your bank account. Note: right now during Covid there is a US coin shortage so Chase bank would only sell me one roll per visit. The laundry machines are a little small but they are usually available. I loved the app feature. It was broken when I first arrived but I called the 1-800 number and within 48 hours I received a notification that an engineer had fixed them.
The hosts again are phenomenal and they did a great job decorating. We loved walking 10 minutes down to the Japanese Supermarket and driving 15 minutes down to the Santa Monica pier.
