To be fair, I'll start with the major positive of this apartment: it's in a great location--close to UCLA bus and Westwood Village. The apts. have nice, high ceilings. But the building is old and needs major repairs. They charge top rent prices, but do not maintain the building very well. Water leaks from various spots in the ceiling of the parking garage. The elevator was remodeled with cheap, tacky materials. The maintenance guy tries to talk you out of repairing things in your apt, saying you don't need them anyway. My apt. did not have a dishwasher--the kitchen sink was smelly and old. The fridge was from at least forty years ago. It needed to be defrosted regularly. The bathroom had an old toilet, sink, and tub--full of rust and mildew. They didn't bother to replace the carpet before I moved in--it had tears and worn spots. When they posted notices about building-wide repairs or maintenance projects, it took days longer than promised. Someone wrote "Liar" on their post after the elevator had been out two days longer than promised. Another person posted a sign on the manager's door begging them to refill the gas tank for the grill. After several weeks of my window blinds repeatedly falling down, I discovered that they had been stuck up there with tape. I think their major problem is that they are trying to make a profit on this building at the expense of the residents. They figure they can always attract people b/c of the location. Don't get sucked in! Lots of apts in this area. Look around!!
