I was a doctor at Cedars Sinai and choose to live here because of its close proximity. It is a very great location but it was one disaster after another. 1) We hired a cleaning service that left the place spotless. We let the front desk know this specifically. They said great as they had mentioned if we did this we would not have to pay for their cleaning services as long as the inspection passed. We got charged an extra $130 for cleaning. I called to enquire from customer care (which is a separate place in Denver) and was told that we got charged because we didn't provide them with a receipt of our cleaning services- this wasn't mentioned anywhere in the lease, or on the exit sheet OR by the front desk when we went to go see if there was ANYTHING else we needed to do. Straight lies and failures in communication. Also despite the fact that the place was left spotless EVERYONE pays the same amount. 2) The women's locker room constantly had mold in the steamroom and weird soap residue in the hot tub. 3) The pool was entirely not secure. People would sneak in all the time who didn't live there and nobody actually monitored it. 4) Tons of money went into random things like redoing the pool in the middle of the summer in LA (no pool for 6 months with no warning when we moved in about it), re doing all the toilets yet the elevator buttons were broken for the entire time we lived there (2 years). 5) Really silly inconveniences and rules: the gate doesn't allow you to let your friends in unless you have a local LA phone number, you arn't allowed to dry your towels on your own balcony, you aren't allowed to bring your children into the locker room even though there is no other place to easily change their clothes. Don't move into this apartment- the bottom line is that you might as well move across the street to park La Brea where you will pay at least a thousand less for the same amount of space and get way better service.
