The Plaza basically have the attitude that, since they're near UCLA, they can treat tenants terribly and provide poor facilities; this place was like a revolving door. I do not want to mislead anyone, and hence I cannot provide any positive advice about this place.
The manager is a COW; an absolutely horrible, nasty piece of work. I don't say this about many people, but she really doesn't care. Don't expect any help from her: she's incompetent, stupid, and probably a puppet of the parent corporation.
We were there during the worst construction imaginable (they replaced all of the ceiling sprinklers and pipes), with NO reasonable notice they were beginning such construction, and 1/2 the tenants emptied from the place, as they expected us to pay FULL rent for living in a warzone. There was open ceilings for over 2 months, materials left in the hallways, loud banging and noises constantly, etc. etc.
Furthermore, the apartment had an infestation of fruit flies - we assumed it was from the garbage disposal, and although many valid attempts were made to get rid of it, it was impossible. The parking was often obscured and people take your spots; the hot water constantly had problems and was turned off entirely; the fire alarm went off x3 in the middle of the night (we even had fire trucks come); the noise generally was terrible, with several groups of lads living together and making a racket (with the manager just ignoring all requests for her to deal with it) and having parties until 2 a.m. on weekdays; the walls are paper-thin, and you can hear your neighbors; and the list goes on.
One huge point: BEWARE - they try to RIP you OFF with your bond. They will never return it. They've been sued for this before, but they continue to attempt to withhold your bond for any reason they can find. It does not matter how clean you are - they will find a reason to repaint your entire apartment just to keep your bond. We sued them for this, and won. Do NOT let them do this to you.
There are so many great apartment complexes in Westwood - don't waste your time here.
