Location - 15 min bike, 12 min drive to campus and walking distance to Sawtelle Japantown with food/bars nearby.

Price - Very affordable for the location and size

Apt - No amenities, space feels smaller than it is (low ceilings, odd layout)

Building - Noise can be loud with busy street below but has never caused too much of a disturbance for me or my wife. Building is secure but garage is not, so we store our bikes in our apartment rather than on the bike rack in the garage.

Landlord - Very responsive but generally does not want to spend any money on repairs etc. We've had a few issues that have required multiple contacts to get him to do anything.

Location couldn't be better: walking distance to Sawtelle restaurants, close to 405 (but not so close that get noise), 10-15 minutes to campus. The on-site property manager is responsive, helpful and a good person. Only complaint is the underlying infrastructure of the building is on the older side ... newer buildings being built in the area have better amenities and better infrastructure, but this is property is good value.

Location is one block from restaurants in Sawtelle and a few blocks opposite direction from Santa Monica Blvd and 405. No issues with noise. Apartments are refurbished so new feel even though older building. Good value. Only complaint is washer/dryer are shared for each floor.

The apartment is about 30-45 mins bus to Anderson. There is BigBlue Bus line 17 within 2 mins and line 1 in 8 mins. The apartment is next to "little Osaka" on Sawtelle blvd, where tons of good restaurants. The apartment has parking and quiet, but a little bit old. Need to pay all the utilities and internet. The lease period can be 9 months or 12 months. It requires a month deposit or SSN.
