Tenant Reviews for 3278 WILSHIRE BLVD

I´ve been living here since October, 2003 and I couldn´t be happier. I didn´t even know apartments like these existed in los Angeles. Apart from being ridiculously spacious, the apartments have been fully renovated, and mine is like new, except it has maintained all of the original moldings, colors, and doors and fixtures. The management was so helpful when wwe moved in and very accommodating to our requests. Anytimt there has been a problem, we have had no problem getting it taken care of. It´s a beautiful place to live, and a great environment, and our neighbors have been very friendly.

Although the Talmadge is beautiful building, I have found the management to be difficult and rude. I believe the current manager is Sally? She has been patronizing about guest parking, and outright rude to many guests of the establishment. One day after arguing to even get a guest parking spot on a busy parking day, I was ignored by the male manager on my way to try to even get back into the gated lot to get my car. All the great renovations don´t make up for the shoddy service reprsenting this historic building.

We came to look at the apartments, as we had heard they were new renovated. We are silent film fans and were interested in the history of the building, having been owned by a silent film star at one time. When we pulled up to the building, we have to only suppose that the fellow who serves as the doorman was gruffly cussing out a poor teenage girl and single Mom, calling them bad words, and yelling at them to move their jeep, which was parked in their driveway. He even HIT the kid´s hand, and called her the "B" word! THEN, he threatened to kick the Mom´s you-know-what. When the little girl came to the Mom´s defense, he threatened to kick the MOM´s rear-end, too! This was a LARGE guy, threatening two females. We got back in our car and drove away. The girls ran away in fear of their very lives. We are wealthy patrons, and my grandson and I drove away, shocked at what we had just seen. Evidently, though the building may be renovated, the staff is not classy, and rather violent. Sadly, we won´t be inquiring as to whether or not any apartments are for lease there, for fear we´ll be bodily threatened by Bruno, the pimp, ´er, I mean doorman. (He went back inside the building, using his key, and got behind the desk, that´s why we assume he works there.) My grandson was traumatized by watching this event. We will NEVER go back there. <br> <br>Mattie
