This place is just extraordinary! The old Hollywood glam vibe is just what you want from your visit to Hollywood. I heard Charlie Chaplin lived here and was so excited. We stayed in a great penthouse that overlooked the Hollywood hills, the freeway was also next to us but the windows don t let any sound come inside. Would definitely recommend to anyone!!
Beautiful and historic landmark! Extremely charming classic Hollywood residential building with a modern flare. The units are very clean and spacious, and the gorgeous rooftop views are to die for. The gym and the rooftop exercise equipment is perfect for watching the sunset while working out, then treating yourself to a glass of wine on the second rooftop while facing the Hollywood sign. The location is in the heart of Hollywood and there are many great shops, cafes and eateries within walking distance. From the moment you step in, you feel you are in a Hollywood movie; the colors, architecture and ambiance is lovely. The building is also very well maintained especially with the newly appointed management team; they are extremely attentive and helpful.
It's a old awful building!
The manager is nice to you until you sign your lease agreement
Also WE HAVE BLACK MOLD in the bathroom
Because the apartment doesn't have any ventilation !!
Not at all
Never have this problem before in the different apartments
Elevator doesn't work here
They also have tones of Airbnb here and the corporate acts like he doesn't know about it and always random people here
Moved into the building in 2012. Loved the first 5 years there, but ever since Polaris took over in 2017, the quality of the building has seriously hit a low point. AirBnB all of the time now (it is like living in a hostel) and property management just throws up their hands and does nothing to stop it. Elevator has only worked for about 3 weeks in the last year. And there is only one elevator that can be used. Marijuana smell permeates the halls, fitness center is a joke, and the rooftop, although nice, does not justify the massive rent increases year over year.
This used to be an amazing place to live, with a great community of entertainment industry professionals and creatives. Now, lots of drug addicts, escorts, and domestic violence. Just what you want to come home to at night. And oh yeah, Hollywood has become really bad in the last few years, and with only a roving security guard (who is great by the way) and AirBnB people leaving the front door open all of the time, the building has become very unsafe.
Definitely look elsewhere before signing a lease. You will thank me.
We rented a room here for one night while on holiday. We arrived in late at 1.30am and found dirty dishes in the sink, no toilet paper and hair convering the shower. We didn't have a car so we had to go walk to the nearest shop to get toilet paper in the early hours of the morning.
Also the hallways smell heavily of cigarette smoke.
The apartment itself is pretty however unfortunately our experience was massively let down by a few basic things that could have easily been taken care of prior to our arrival.
used to live here and i liked it. can't blame the management for the people doing airbnb. blame the owners. cool building. old place but i liked it.
Honestly, worst experience I ve had ever. I landed in La midnight and went to my apartment that I booked on Hollywood in the middle of the town. And went to get the key from the lock box wasn t there, we went to the apartment and people were inside sleeping. Answered the door half naked. We called the number we had but no one answered and we were left stranded in the streets of Hollywood in the middle of the night. Then they upgraded us to this tower. Which wasn t very clean and honestly locked scary inside. Fast forward to two day later, a women showed up with the same experience, stating that she has booked the current apartment and wants to get it. But she understood as soon as we explain to her what happened. The beds were clean tho but made noise every time we moved. Also the place was full of mini cockroaches as shown in picture.
Do not recommend if you have a big group. Difficult to work with owners. Thank goodness I m not crippled because the elevator is out and we weren t informed until we were there. Not enough covers, sheets, or towels. Won t be wasting my money or time on this again.
Staff is informative and provided the impressive history of this landmark, as Hollywood royalty like Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin lived here amongst others .
Great place with an amazing staff!! I always feel at home here.
