My wife and I are in our upper sixties and live in a suburb that in 2017 was rated as one of the top 10 safest towns in America. When we arrived at this unit, it was not what we were hoping for. The neighborhood is not as nice as we hoped it would be. We were hoping to walk the neighborhood and that on the busy nearby street, Venice Blvd, we could visit coffee shops and outdoor cafes. The neighborhood is not conducive to that. I accept some of the blame for not determining this in advance.
The building and parking area are surrounded by a high black metal fence. You must slide the fence back to access parking (oddly, it doesn’t lock, so your car isn’t really protected). The outdoor amenities are behind a locked gate. The unit itself has a heavy steel security door protecting the front door.
The unit itself is “worn”. The wood floor in the living room has seen better days. The living room couch is old and had a small stain that my wife noticed. That’s as far as we made it. We did not stay here despite paying in full, in advance.
