Some might say the golden years of the Commodore Apartments were in the roaring '20s (of course…read moreback then it was referred to as the Hotel Commodore). In my opinion, the heyday of this place was between 2001 and 2006. Why? Because I lived here during the time when downtown LA was converting from a crap hole into a happening spot. It was when people still cringed when I told them I lived downtown...or at least their eyes would widen with shock. Now they widen with envy (unless you're from the midwest or something) I woke up in my unit on September 11 when my dad called me and told me to turn on the news. I remember actually thinking I needed to be at work so I walked down to 7th and Metro station and everyone downtown was frantic, running around, looking up at the skyscrapers, praying nothing would happen. When I first moved in here in Spring 2001 (anyone remember Jaime?), this place was 80% low income tenants (and by that I mean government helping out), but they had just finished renovating the place by installing late 90s office-style décor. The doors appeared as if they would open a corner office in a downtown high-rise and the kitchenettes had the feel of an employee breakroom somewhere in the financial district. The bathrooms made you look for the paper towel dispensers and want to call the maintenance man if someone peed on the floor. Dennis the manager was cool. Francois (or Francis) the security guard took his job so seriously he physically threw my cracked-out friend on to the sidewalk because he was trying to gain entry into the building. But it all came crumbling down in the Spring of 2006. I got some memories. If it's happened in LA, it's happend in the Commodore. Especially the 11th floor. I'm gonna write a book about them all. Call it "The Commodore." Anyway. It has a great location for being so close to downtown. Laundry room on site, liquor store across the street. Thai food place next door. Monty's bar next to that (which doesn't look like it's open). TG Express thai food delivers till 4am. What else? Wilshire café around the corner. Oh, and when Bobby Kennedy was assassinated his ambulance drove right past the place. Don't believe me? I got pics. I paid $595/month everything included during those years. Today I would pay up to $800 because it's private and the location. Anything more than that you should consider other places (unless you absolutely need your own 4 walls and private door and bathroom).

Avoid this management company! They have been renovating a building on Marathon St. in Hollywood…read morefor months now and are clearly violating multiple tenant laws. Construction starts too early and can be heard from several streets away. The area is full of toxic dust and debris overflowing onto public sidewalks. You can see their (likely exploited) workers failing to adhere to safety practices. Tenants are actually stuck living in the building throughout all of this chaos, as they've been denied hotel accommodations required by law. I can't understand how this company hasn't been shut down, but they should expect more complaints unless they start taking care of their tenants and neighbors in the communities in which they operate. Do better!

You can tell they genuinely care about the residents' experience. The whole building has a luxurious feel and always smells amazing! The views are stunning, and I love that they host fun, theme-based parties for residents. I also have to mention Christine who is absolutely exceptional! Always professional, kind, and goes above and beyond to help with anything you need. Her professionalism and one of a kind attitude really make this place feel like home and a five star resort all in one. It's the perfect mix of comfort, style, and outstanding service.

She also puts together resident events and get-together which was cool. Pros: -Location is great! Walkable to shops, restaurants, la live, Ralph's, whole-foods etc. -Loved the big marble shower and kitchen counters with plenty of space for cooking. -Good sized balcony and big windows that let in lots of natural daylight, my unit was facing the west so I got to watch the sunsets at night. -Good common hangout areas, TV room, pool, outdoor lounges etc. -Gated underground parking super important in DTLA! -It's a smaller building which is nice it felt quiet and private and isn't right in the centre of DTLA so it was quiet and peaceful at night.

UPDATE 3: Greystar sold the apt to Equity Residential. If you thought Greystar was a shitty…read morecompany, Equity somehow manages to top them. They have fired the cleaning lady, so now there is shit, garbage, and stink everywhere. They also managed to fuck up the package system, so no one can get their packages anymore. UPDATE 2: Downgrading my rating from a 2 to a 1 for endangering the lives of residents and attempting illegal entrance of units. There was a gas leak, and K2LA claimed it was normal to smell gas. GAS SMELL IS NEVER NORMAL. I had to call SoCalGas for emergency repair. Also, management attempted to enter enter all units "to inspect" which is ILLEGAL. UPDATE: Downgrading my rating from 3 to 2 for continued problems, including being sent to COLLECTIONS for K2LA failing to pay for their own accounts. ---------- Pros: - New units, but on the small side compared to other apartment buildings in the area - Nest thermostat lets me use my phone to control AC remotely, set schedule, etc. - Each building has its own gym, pool, roof, etc. so each amenity is less crowded - Pet wash station - Everything is very clean and well maintained [update: no longer true with Equity] - Close to the metro if you take the red line ---------- Cons: - They FORCE you to have Spectrum/Time Warner cable TV & internet (100mbps). It costs $80/month through K2LA, even though Spectrum actually offers this bundle for $60/month direct to consumers. Also, the internet is not actually 100mbps. It hovers around 50-60mbps. The Ubee modem they provide you is a piece of shit. It randomly drops the internet speed to 5mbps for no reason, and the wifi fails frequently. Good thing I had a modem and router from my previous apartment, which gave me a stable connection. - I was sent to COLLECTIONS for debt on a Time Warner account that K2LA owns. I got calls from debt collectors harassing me non stop. I had to send a certified letter demanding debt validation, which showed the debt owner as K2LA! Isn't that a great move-in present? DEBT COLLECTORS! YAY! - More HIDDEN FEES. Ok, so on top of rent, you need to pay extra for parking, cable/internet (required), gas, water, sewage, trash, electricity. Oh, and guess what they are still trying to charge you an extra fee for "rent administrative service." You need a fee just to be able to collect rent? Oh, and this is not in the lease, so it's illegal! - Packages "failed" to be delivered for some reason. Possibly because... - Although there is 24 hour "courtesy patrol," the guard is not guaranteed to be inside your building. This leads to situations where there is no employee in the building, so the delivery man may give up on delivering your packages. I once came back and saw the UPS man sitting on the floor outside trying to call someone to open the door! - There's no online system for maintenance request. This is really weird for a "modern" apartment. Every apartment I've lived in has a centralized website/app to submit maintenance issues. - No emails for packages received by the office. If a package is too big for the package lockers, the office takes them, but you don't get an email. - NO SIGNAL FOR AT&T. Be warned, if you have AT&T, you will have NO CELL SERVICE. - Nasty smells come through the HVAC system. It seems like the apartments share HVAC, so if someone is smoking or cooking up fish, the strong smoke and fish smell starts blowing in your apartment... - Shoddy workmanship. BTW I'm the first resident in this unit. The cabinets and drawers aren't straight and stick out at weird angles. The poles in the closet are bent and slanted. The floors aren't level. There were already scratches, dents, bumps, etc., even though I'm the first resident. - Terrible garage door. First of all, it's a clicker, not a sensor. You will sit in your car furiously clicking your garage opener until it finally starts moving at a snails pace. - No mirrors in the garage to help see around the corners. This means people come speeding down at you causing everyone to slam their breaks. VERY dangerous - You can't have stuff on your balcony. Apparently, this company sends people around the building to check to make sure your balcony is clear. You can't have things like bamboo screens covering the railing, anything decorative, coolers, etc. There is NO fire hazard or danger in having these products on the balcony. Keep in mind these apartments are smaller than average for this area and price range. The balconies are 7x7ft. If you don't want people to use their balconies, maybe you should have used that 50 sqft for the actual ROOM instead of the balcony? You'd think instead of wasting money on employees checking for these frivolous things, they could fix the other problems.

I've had to make 3 service calls since I've moved in for very small issues and each time the leasing office responded to bring prompt resolution. the amenities are awesome, gym and rooftop areas are always clean, the apt is located to a bunch of walkable places. pretty damn awesome. oh and every once in a while they have small events to promote nearby businesses and give out freeeeee food. which makes a fatass like me very happy. thanks K2LA! - a very happy, food loving resident :))

I never encountered any problems with management or maintenance; on the contrary, my inquiries were promptly addressed and resolved. I was a little hesitant about moving out but I needed a change and a larger place. However, the parking situation was one aspect that I did not like. It is unsafe and quite expensive for what it is. I ended up parking at the gated garage on Maple and 7th, which costs $155 per month and is both clean and secure. However, you have to dodge crazies on your way there and back. Even though I now live even further away, I continue to park there. Everything else such as the homeless situation, noise, litter and frequent car break-ins are common issues in DTLA. If you plan on living here, don't be surprised when you experience them LOL.
