1)CHEAP AND GREEDY LANDLORD.The landlords only concerns are getting the rent check and getting new renters ASAP without consideration for current renters.Landlord is all business and puts minimal effort into maintaining building.He does superficial repairs and barely cleans the apartments between renters.He is condescending and inconsiderate of renters' needs.

2)OVERPRICED.For what is being offered, you can find a better, less expensive apartment in West Los Angeles.Appliances are unreliable and do not work well; carpet is stained and dirty; and bathrooms are shabby; reception for TV/cable is very poor.The building is NOT new and NOT in a great neighborhood.

3)NOISY AREA. While on a residential street, the area is more commercial/industrial.Noisy families with children occupy the neighboring houses.Children can be heard screaming and shouting during early morning hours and in the afternoon.Also, there are often people loitering or hanging out on the sidewalk or vending trucks on the street.Neighboring school is also a concern- bells and loud school children can be heard in the morning and throughout the day.

4)SECURITY PROBLEMS.The building is supposed to be secure, but there have been at least two incidents within the past year, one break-in with property stolen and one attempted break-in with property damage.Both incidents occurred during the day and were reported to police and landlord.

5)PARKING.Parking area is small and cramped for cars.Very little street parking for visitors due to restricted parking on half of the street.
