I wanted to take a moment to recognize Eddie from maintenance staff for the outstanding service and care he provided throughout our maintenance concerns. From the beginning, Eddie stayed in communication, kept us informed, and worked diligently to make sure our issues were fully resolved. What stood out most was his consistent follow-up and genuine care to ensure everything was taken care of and that we were satisfied with the outcome. His professionalism, responsiveness, and kindness truly made up for the lack of communication we experienced earlier in the process. Having someone who takes pride in their work and values resident experience makes such a difference. Thank you, Eddie, for going above and beyond, and your efforts have made us excited to continue our residency at Llewellyn Apartments! read more

For those looking for a new apartment in DTLA or Los Angeles proper, do not look at Llewellyn for your future home. I've lived here for 4+ years and it's been a pain in the ass living here. I moved here as one of the first tenants and from the beginning, the property has had major issues. From broken elevators for weeks on end, zero communication or follow up from management, paper thin walls between the floors and the walls between; the list of negative reasons of why you should NOT live here outweigh any positive reasons. I just concluded moving out and even then, I did not get any of my security deposit back and I was charged for "smoking" damage even though I actually lodged complaints of my neighbor smoking so it's ironic I was then charged for the smoke damage. I could have taken Greystar to small claims like many have (please use Google/reddit and you'll see how many complaints/lawsuits have been lodged against Greystar) but I like many others, just paid the due so we can finally move on from this predatory management company. This is the type of behavior you will be encountering from the day that you live here until you move out. In a HCOL landscape where there's plenty of overpriced apartments to rent, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. read more

I am leaving this review purely to acknowledge Eddie in the maintenance department, who is consistently carry the standard for this building!! Eddie is the absolute highlight of living in this community. He is always attentive, incredibly communicative, and brings such a positive, friendly energy to the building with a warm smile every time you see him. The absolute best read more

I've been living here for 4 years now, and property management is hard to get a hold of, but once all the paper work is done for renewing leases, living here is amazing. Eddie is a great guy who is always optimistic and handles all maintenance requests professionally with great care. read more

DO NOT MOVE HERE. I moved here thinking I was going to get peace and quite and away from DTLA, where it tends be be noisier. Its actually the complete opposite. 1) Constant train the goes by day & night so you cant sleep 2) You can hear the noise from all the surrounding bars & breweries 3) The construction/renovations they do I'm on the top floor and thought I wouldn't hear anything but the maintenance / outside vendors (i.e. painters) guys constantly roam on roof with the equipment during the day. It's pounding like an earthquake. Lastly there are no EV charging stations available, no storage units, the elevators and hot tub are always broken. Management (Greystar) is a revolving door here. Monika who was my leasing agent and sold me my unit left before I moved in. Then I dealt with the Leasing Manager McKynzie after and then a few months in she disappeared too. My neighbors who have been here longer also had nothing positive to say about the constant management rotation, their management bench is worse than the Dodgers bullpen. read more

My man Eddie from maintenance is the best! Professional, fast and kind! Been helping us for years now!

Applied here almost a year ago and am still dealing with billing issues. I applied for an apartment here a year ago. Paid 2 application fees and a holding fee and decided to not live at the apartment. The leasing office never gave me back my holding fee. I emailed them numerous times to get the check back but it never came. A women named McKynzie told me to just dispute the charges which is obviously the wrong choice. I ended up collecting debt of almost $170 from disputing this holding fee and when I called to ask why this was the case, McKynzie was no longer there. Please save yourself the trouble of living here or even applying. read more

I have lived here for just a year now and LOVE it! The location is the best being next to DTLA but not in it. Highly recommend.

I had the exact same experience as Zoe T's review. Living here was generally fine, but I dealt with an extremely loud neighbor above me, thin walls, and a persistent bug problem. I lived on the 3rd floor by the courtyard, and while I expected the occasional bug, the amount was absurd. I once even woke up with one crawling on my back. Despite repeatedly asking maintenance to address the issue, it wasn't fully resolved. I ended up spending $100 to caulk the entire apartment and using bug repellent monthly, which finally minimized the issue. On top of that, after dealing with constant problems, I only received $49 back from my deposit, even though I left the place in better condition than when I moved in. While this place might look nice from the outside, it has numerous internal issues. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Beautiful property with great amenities! Lovely staff, very professional. I can say that this property values resident experience and it is evident with the way they put so much thought and care into each detail. read more

I've been living at the Llewellyn apartments for almost a year now and I think it's a good amount of time to be able to give this place a solid review. When I first came here, I already fell in love with the place. It's far enough away from Downtown to feel like I'm away but also close enough to explore whenever I need to. It's right across from the beautiful LA Historic Park and HP Brewery next door. Both amazing but also can be rough as there's plenty of parking unless if there's an event at the park or the brewery has a good amount of people. Kimberly is the one who gave me, my roommate and my husband the tour. She was very sweet and professional so when I read the reviews, I'm actually pretty surprised how badly people speak of her. I have personally sent her emails regarding people leaving trash in the garage and when the elevators are broken and she handles issues right away and responds to my emails quickly. Anyways, the day of the tour, she gave us the chance to see two units and eventually we ended up signing papers to move in. She followed up with us on the things we needed to do to move in, and also helped us with any issues we had. I recall my roommate having an issue with his charging port for his car-granted it took a while to get it resolved-not sure why, but after we told Kimberly the issue-she got to it right away. She also seems like she wants to personally get to know each and every resident every time I see her. As far as the place goes, they have very nice amenities. I've used the gym, the pool/jacuzzi, the session room, rooftop, and the community room. All add value to my stay here. Granted I don't know how to use the television since the system installed doesn't seem user friendly, but overall I've enjoyed the gym and the pool/jacuzzi weekly. As mentioned by the other tenants, the package room though is a nightmare. They had a system where it was just so hard to find packages and even though they've changed it-it still can be difficult to find cause there's just so many tenants and people just get things delivered...it's just not my favorite thing about this place. I personally like the security people here. They're all very nice and keeps this place safe. I wish they could give us ten more minutes at the jacuzzi at the end of the evening but I get it. It's for the other tenants and to respect their quiet time... The one thing though that is a big upsetting is the elevators are broken quit a bit. The D elevator has been down for quite some time and someone just decided to break the sensor in one of the other elevators. You'd think the tenants here would take care of the building but man, some people are savages. It's crazy how things break. One thing I do love about this place are the community events they have for us. They're very creative and will have taco and movie nights. One time they had a chef come in to teach us how to cook a specific dish for the residents. And it's just overall a great experience to bring people together. Overall I give this place a 4/5 stars. Not every place is going to be perfect but I do love this apartment complex. I've had good experiences so far during my stay here at Llewellyn. read more

I've been living here with my family for almost a year in a half. Honestly, Llewellyn is a total gem! The rooftop? A dream. Pool, jacuzzi, and the 24/7 gym? Always spot on. I'm loving the coworking space, and shoutout to the team for keeping everything so clean. The grills are always ready to go, and it's super convenient having LA Historic State park next door. My daughter was born last August and the staff has watched her grow. Highly recommend this place for new families because all the amenities make it convenient to bring your baby out without the hassle of driving far. Big thanks to Kimberly -- she's always on point, friendly, and quick to help out, even when swamped. Oh, and for fellow pet parents out there, this place is super welcoming to our fur babies (cat & dog). If you're looking for luxury and a chill vibe, you've gotta check out this place. 5 stars, no doubt! read more

We just moved in here last weekend and love everything here so far with Marco helping us thru the process everything is amazing and smooth !!! Shout out to Aaron my maintenance guy he made my day we got some small issues when we moved in and he come and fix right away and it's on Sunday !! They are amazing :)))) read more

Been here about a year and have little to complain about. Wanted to shout out Eddie for always addressing our maintenance issues quickly and he is always so friendly read more

I just moved in from another building in arts district- my partner and I have been here for a bit less than a month and so far so good! Michelle has been super responsive to all our needs! Angel has also been great- there was some confusion during our move in but he was there to sort it all out, very understanding and accommodating. They even said that the mail and package system was a mess before we moved in but it looks like everything's pretty well managed! To be honest, mail and packages are an issue at a lot of buildings but from the looks of it, it's not bad at all here. The only thing I feel like that could be tough for some tenants is that one time when I was moving, there were other people moving in too- so all the elevators were being closed off and reserved for them. Great for the people moving in since I see how that's super convenient, but it can be tough lol. All the amenities look great, can't wait to use the pool during the warmer months since we get a great view of DTLA, and Chinatown is in walking distance so it's super convenient to get a quick meal there. LA historic park is right next to us so we get to host pregames for events we go to there lol and all the concerts end around 10 or 11pm, so it's not like we're trying to sleep through the event. Thanks again to Michelle and the entire team for making this month great so far! read more

I've lived here for over 2 years now and really enjoy it. Eddie, one of the maintenance guys, is the man! He always fixes our issues promptly and does so with the best attitude. He's so friendly and genuine - he remembers my name and always says hi to me when we see each other in the complex. Eddie makes Llewellyn feel like home! read more

Living here is nice, i really like that when there's an issue they take it serious and send someone promptly. I recently had an issue with my tub, and Aaron the maintenance man unclogged it like in ten minutes.. which was surprisingly fast. read more

Similar to other reviews regarding management and anything money related. I've called and emailed them several times regarding the return of my deposit. It's been OVER 3 months and no status updates since the last time I reached out to them. I was waiting on a confirmation of my check being mailed out and that was back on 6/12... Lack of support, lack of care, and unprofessional team. Don't rec this place to anyone. read more

Email chains going back months , there are so many excuses from Mayra, to the leasing agents being fired, I have even visited the complex again and left a letter with security because the agents weren't in office, and it was blown off. I have contacted greystar by Twitter, by email, my direct contact is listed in the email chain, how can you say you show records of mail coming to me, then ask for direct contact my phone number , email address and address are located on the information you say you mailed. read more

I didn't know this place existed. By far the best place I visited over the last three weeks. You don't know how any place Really is until you move there. I will say this, I had a sense of peace when I did the tour read more

I wanted to give a personal thank you to Eddie, my technician at Llewellyn. He has gone above and beyond to make sure I've been well taken care of. This year, I experienced a frustrating malfunction with my laundry washer that stretched out for over a week. While I was talking to staff, I kept getting connected to different people and my service request was left neglected on the portal. However, Eddie and Marco really helped out by opening a spare unit to give me access to the laundry machine while they were waiting for the replacement to come in. After I was assigned Eddie as my technician, he checked in with me every step of the way and explained to me what tests he would run on the washer. I really appreciated the transparency in his communication, his professionalism, and the knowledge he brought to the table. Every time I've been assigned to Eddie as my technician, he helps get the job done. Seriously among the top 1% of technicians I've ever worked with. This guy needs a raise! read more

My partner and I have lived in 3 other apartments before this and I'd have to say this is one of the better ones! I noticed a lot of bad reviews are from just the touring/application portion, and I would have to agree. The initial tour was nice, but having the front leasing office follow up with you was a bit tedious. We had to follow up A LOT. I just think they're definitely overloaded. In fact, my brother in law and cousin both had issues applying here, lol. BUT! once we finally settled in, which was when they first opened (the other parts of the building were still in construction!), the experience was pleasant. We're moving out end of this month so I want to share my experience! SHOUT OUT TO DANIEL AND ALBERT, Our favorite front security guys (WELL MISS YOU!) . There was a lot of turnover with the front security, but those two were always so helpful and have probably stuck around the longest? Haha Also, idk why Kim has such bad reviews she's always been sweet and helpful as well. She's doin her best! Idk if Angel is still manager there, but he's been patient and accommodating with all of our requests. Mailroom in EVERY apartment is a nightmare, but I'd have to say Llewellyn has really improved their organization system with bins and shelves. It still gets crazy when it piles up, but I can see they're putting in the effort. The gym was great! It had a bench, smith machine, free weights, bunch of other machines, treadmills.. they don't have a squat rack but you can still make do. Not a lot of people go in the morning so that was the best time to go. Also, there's a few of personal trainers in the gym that you'll always see so you can probably hit them help for some help! Haha I do have to say though, if you are the type of person to run outside, it does feel a bit.. unsafe. I would not do so unless you just go to the park across the street. I love their coworking space, just wish they had more desks at sitting height to work on your laptop. The other amenities are nice (pool, pet station, bike room, studio, lounge), but was not used as often as we should have We were able to get our own parking spot with charging which was convenient. Wish there was more visitor parking, but there is some on the street. Just be aware street parking is next to none when there is an event at the LA State Historic Park! The walls are a bit thin, but that's to be expected from apartments? It probably helped that our spot was a corner space with only one neighbor on the side. Idk why our upstairs neighbor was always running a marathon tho. Llewellyn is cute sometimes and would hold events for holidays or just because like outdoor movie nights. Every Wednesday they would have a food truck outside which we finally got to try once in our 2 years here haha We would always get text messages threatening to charge for people's pets peeing and pooping everywhere, but honestly HAVE THEY?! bc we do see the occasional pee in the elevator :) Alrightttt I think that's it. If you do decide to live here, please do check out all the great restaurants Chinatown has to offer (not just Howlin Rays, ok?)! read more

I've been at Llewellyn for a lil over 3 months now and I have to say Aaron (the maintenance guy) has been great about getting my work orders done quickly and efficiently even with my dog being a wee bit protective of her space. He's luckily had no issues with her and I return from work with my requests being done. Thank you Aaron. read more

I have been living at Llewellyn for a little over a year and here is my honest review. Location - Located right next to the LA Historic Park. I've seen them have farmer's markets, festivals, game nights, movie nights, yoga on the park, etc. It's super cool, and Llewellyn is always notifying us of any upcoming event to prep us for noise + traffic. They also give away FREE tickets to shows at the park. It's away from DTLA by a few blocks but you don't see the homeless and crime activity that you tend to see in the heart of DTLA. There are a couple of breweries within steps of the building and my favorite bar Apotheke is located walking distance from here. Location is the main reason why I chose Llewellyn and have not regretted it. 10/10. Staff - The leasing office has some of the better vibes that I have experienced, especially coming from my previous building. It seems like they have a great working relationship and all care for their job. I have met Angel and they all have a great attitude. Cleanliness - no complaints here! They have a group of very nice porters who clean every day and power wash the sidewalks. We had an issue with someone who was letting their dog pee in the C building elevator for a while but management sent constant messages out to the community and put notices on the elevator. This has nothing to do with the building but more about the people that allow their pets to do this. Overall building - Yes you can hear your upstairs neighbor walking above you but it's nothing out of the ordinary. I have been renting for 9 years and the noises that you would hear here are pretty standard. The D building elevator was down for about a month but from what I understand, the building's elevator people were waiting on a part and the elevator has not been down since. It was a bit of an inconvenience but the C building elevator is 2 mins away. The building sent out messages every so often and their service people sent an apology letter to everyone for the delay. The apartments are very nice here and very updated. Our washer and dryer is HUGE and I have lots of space for my furniture. I have never lived at a building where I have made so many friends! They have events for everyone every month or so. Last month they had a happy hour and the month before that I think that they had a movie night. They recently added more racks to the package room and they label each package with the given apartment number. This makes if VERY easy to get my package. I give this place 5 stars because of quality of life that I get living here. I recommended my best friend to move-in and she is moving in before the end of the year. read more

At the time of moving when Kimberly was there everything went well. We signed right away because we fell in love with the place, amenities, and everything. Dan in the security team was very helpful. Unfortunately, we had to move due to job commute but we definitely recommend and enjoyed this apartment complex. The move out was very smooth we had a minor hiccup but, on the second email we were able to receive our deposit. So sad we had to move, even our child misses this place so bad. read more

The team at the Llewellyn is great. We love Aaron and Eddie on the maintenance team especially, they're always quick to respond to our requests, are lovely people and do a great job. read more

Maintenance is quick to respond. Aaron is excellent, always prompt, thorough and kind. Definitely recommend!

My fiancé and I are long-term residents of Llewelyn. We love all the amenities the building offers: club lounge, pool, and outdoor kitchen spaces. But we especially love the staff who foster community with their friendliness, expertise, and tenacious approach to providing quality care to their tenants. Specifically, McKynzie, Monica, and Marco in management/leasing are outstanding representatives to those in their community. In addition, Carlos and Eddie in maintenance are consistently efficient, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful -- I'm convinced there is nothing they can't fix! All of whom are a few of the many reasons we continue, after four years, love calling Llewelyn home! read more

I am removing 2 stars because of Kimberly Lalor, the leasing agent, is a rude woman. Had the displeasure of meeting her to tour the apartments. I watched her snap at and behave aggressively to current residents. She also interrupts them. Not a good look for people like me who are checking out the building to see if it's viable. She also rudely pointed in the face of other people inside the lobby which was a huge turn off to everyone in the lobby. Personally, her behavior was why I passed on this place. My logic is, if she is that way with tenants in front of others, she must be terrible in private. The other leasing agent I met with is a sweetheart and lights up a room. However, Kimberly brings down the vibe and positivity of the lobby, and the tour with her negative behavior and demeanor. I am avoiding this place due to watching how Kimberly treats residents in front of prospective tenants. Otherwise: Would be a decent buildings if you don't mind the obviously in the midst of gentrifying location. Apartment only has trash collection and the walls are a bit thin for luxury. Found another luxury apartment in dtla instead! read more

The maintenance person, Aaron, has been absoltuely phenomenal, helping with AC issues super swiftly and efficiently. Very kind and cool guy! thank you! read more

I originally enjoyed being a part of this community but lately, it's been getting a bit hectic. Originally, when I moved in, the spots for parking they originally gave to us had two unauthorized cars parked it in, it took 4-5 switches of spots the same day we were moving in to finally find an open spot. However, this new spot is now located on the complete opposite side of where our apartment unit is. When we asked if we could be notified of any closer parking spots, the leasing agent had told us that unless we had a valid medical reason, she wouldn't change our spot. But prior to this, due to their own mistakes and not any of our fault, they changed our spot multiple times in the same day, the same day we were moving in, so we were already pretty stressed. I tried following up via email about this but I never got a response. For reference, our parking spot is in building A but we live in building D, which is fine when I don't have anything to bring to or from the car, but can get really difficult once I do actually have some things to bring over. Secondly, I was told this was a pet friendly apartment. This was one of the questions I asked prior to signing the lease. I do enjoy sitting out in the courtyards with my dog every now and then to allow him to get some fresh air. Of course, I also understand pet etiquete so I always walk him prior to doing this to ensure no accidents occur while we're in public space. Recently, now I was told pets aren't allowed in common spaces, when this whole time I've been operating under the understanding that it was allowable so long as you're able to keep your pet under control, on leash, and respect the common spaces, which is sad. Like, I'd understand the pool area, but the courtyards too?? Lastly, this is less on management and more so on other tenants but there is constantly dog poop on the side walks because of others who don't clean up. Also, the walls are relatively thin. My neighbors are pretty calm but I can still hear footsteps from the unit above me. I have enjoyed living across the park though. There's always something going on every week but it has been pretty busy with all the summer events and street parking can be a bit hectic for guests that visit me. read more

Eddie is fantastic, always smiling. Friendly guy and does an excellent job keeping the gym clean and well-maintained. His hard work doesn't go unnoticed. read more

**Important** -- there is no on site security present at this complex and there has been numerous car break-ins for cars parked along the street parking surrounding the complex. Just beware of the risk when you choose to park outside or if you have visitors. When walking my dog this morning, I saw two SUVs broken into with their windows smashed. read more

HORRIBLE experience with this apartment management Even a star is too much for them. Especially with the leasing office person name Kimberly. Impatient, rude, telling lies, and not taking their job seriously. Because they do NOT follow up any updates once they get the application from future residents. read more

I'm excited to be moving to Llewellyn. I'm very picky about my view because i'll be coming from a high rise apartment. Michael in leasing gave me a virtual tour and pictures of all the views in the building so I picked my unit based off that. I'm also excited to be living next to some of my favorite places like Highland Park Brewery, apotheke bar, Howlin Rays, burgerlords, majordomo and all the Chinese food restaurants. Llewellyn is also across the street from the new LA historic park. It looks clean and perfect to take my dog on a walk every day, which is something I hate doing at my current apartment because residents don't pick up after their pets in the dog park. Looking forward to my move in day!!!!! read more

I have lived in DTLA for a very long time and since COVID-19, l have been wanting to move out of the city to somewhere safer. Businesses have closed, the homeless population has increased significantly, and the overall cleanliness and safety of downtown is really bad now. My lease is finally going expire next year, and I am excited to move out of DTLA and into Llewellyn in Chinatown. I have been working with Michael Zubia and Cara Milliken in the leasing office. When I called in, Michael informed me that they would be open for tours in a couple weeks. He offered to send me virtual tour videos for any floor plans I liked. He answered all my questions quickly and was very knowledgeable about the timeline for them to open the building (Jan 2021). Before submitting an application, I went to go check out the area. I was surprised to find there were ZERO homeless, no trash (except the construction obviously), and a new park right across the street. I also take the Gold line to work so this location is perfect because I can go to downtown for work in a few mins and go shopping to Pasadena also on the gold line. I decided to submit an application and am looking forward to seeing my apartment in person!!!!! The pictures in my review are some that I received as part of the virtual tour. read more

I lived in the D Building (closer to the park) for the first complete year that this building (D) was open. This was experience through out my ONE YEAR here. I moved in November of 2021.... the first rain we got, flooded the D building ground floor entrance and several other apartments on the ground level (poor construction). They ultimately fixed it an demolished a portion of the ground entrance for the water flow to go away from the building. Amenities- It seemed as if none of the TVs ever worked properly or at all through out the amenities areas of the complex. The pool and jacuzzi are both small. The pet wash area is ehhh, out of service currently as I write this. Elevator in the D Building is always breaking down... it's been down for about a month now. Management keeps telling us sorry about this issue but they are working on resolving it. Seems like they just put Bandaids on it with out fixing the root problem. Service requests.. they are pretty timely about your requests so no issues there. Cleanliness- seems like they are very understaffed, we appreciate those that are working as we can see that they are very understaffed . Trash shoot areas and dumpster areas are filthy, once again.. it's hard to keep up with the cleaning when you're understaffed. There should be trash cans next to every elevator from the garage... can't believe how gross and lazy some people are that they leave their trash out for someone else to pick up.. seems like entitled POS. Pricing... it's DTLA and a luxury apt the rates are pretty standard for the area... but definitely not worth what you pay if everything is always broken. The best thing about this complex is that it's next to the LA Historic Park, and away from the craziness of DTLA. Aside from that, too much wrong going on here for a building that's been open for less than 2 years. Staff- they did the best they could with what they had. Very friendly and tried their best to make best of the situation. It's not their fault that the building was poorly constructed and poorly put together. I will not be renewing my lease as their growing pains are too much for now. read more
