The apartment quality is decent.
It is an old building, and some renovations have been done here and there, but still, it is an old building.
Parking has been the worst feature of this apartment since you have to cross Wilshire Blvd and about 1 1/2 block to get to the parking lot reserved for Park Wilshire Apts.

There appears to be lots of comments on which managers are better: previous or current.
Previous managers were extremely friendly to tenants, and I never had problems with them whatsoever. They were always willing to help. I only lived here for a year, but I can tell that they working ethics is laid back and yet professional, which I consider as a great things since you don't really hesitate to talk to them, and they get the job done.
But one thing you should keep in mind is that they are not the ones making decisions on investing money for renovations. Their job is to maintain tenants happy and keep this place as it is, such as being in charge of fixing broken stuff, maintain rent payments up to date, basically keep this place in one piece. Stuff like new painting, better elevator service, new carpets come from upper management, and if they don't want to do it, then that's the bottom line. It doesn't matter how many times the manager report to them, if they say no, then it's no. So let's make a clear distinction on who to complain about such issues.

New managers are not as friendly, but their company itself seem to plan on investing more money than the previous owners. I think the new managers are also professional and they get the job done. I once had electricity problem on a Saturday, and I reported to them in the morning, and the technician came in the afternoon to fix my problem. Two elevators are working, new paintjobs are in the process, and higher apartment maintainance are into effect. But you get what you give. I am sure that the rent price is going to go up accordingly.

Bottom line is, you get what you paid for. Don't blame the managers from the past or present. ---- and --------- did their best on what they could (you guys rock!), and current managers are also doing their best within their reach. This is donwtown LA. Unless you plan to pay over $1600 for studio or $1900 for a besdroom, or $2500 for a two bedroom, don't expect to live in a first class apartment. For the price, I think this apartment is decent, and I would recommend.
