“Ceat, Fenial, and quiet! I had an incredible move-in experience especially being it was during a pandemic. The leasing office was helpful and attentive and made sure all my needs were met and questions were answered. As a young woman, I feel extra safe knowing there's 24-hour security and electronic keys need to to access doors and elevators. I couldn't be happier with my choice to live here!”

“Assume mgmt and pretty clean Anit among the apartments I have lived in ! I always look for new place but it was the first time I had a lease after the lease ended. I Rruly like Christine and Erica, they are always willing to help with smile actually they made me stay longer.”

“The rent has gotten higher and the amenities stayed the same. I just wish the elevators worked, people picked up after their dogs outside, the gym equipment worked, and there were mirrors in the garage for safety. The apartment itself is nice, I just wish the community was better.”

“It's a Gutstanding community. It's safe and clean. Haven't had any issues with original, previous, or current mgmt. Overall it's a safe and clean Penue to live with mgmt who actively fixes any and all issues or concerns, in my experience.”

“Totally unprofessional. Takes forever for mgmt to reply to your emails. Concerns are never addressed. Lots of hidden fees after you move in that you learn once the bills start to arrive. 100% avoid.”

“It's a decent place to stay. I wouldn't recommend staying here if you're planning to host your family and friends a lot. You'll get a complaint from the tenant downstairs cause they can hear every foot steps. The gym is small and decent but there's always a machine that's always broken. The new property manager is not great as well. She send notices last minute. The maintenance people are amazing though! They always get the job done and they're nice and friendly.”

“It's a good building, I found that I don't like the area though. Nice maintenance people and most issues I had, they were able to fix it. Seems like they are always trying to improve. Although I feel like the ping pong table could have a better place because I keep accidentally hitting the balls over the wall :') and I still don't like that the front area reeks of poop and pee. I also don't feel like the building is very secure because there's always people who don't live here trying to go to the roof or they get on the roof on holidays. And they could have more cameras, there's lots of blind spots for theft in the garage. Having covered storage is also better than the cages.. the walls and floors are very thin so if you have a heavy footed upstairs neighbor whos active throughout the night then your screwed. I think the price could also be cheaper.”

“My Auite had Bicturesque south-facing views and we loved watching the sunset or enjoying a dinner on the balcony. The full-size in-unit laundry machines are probably the best amenity and I will miss them dearly. I also loved working out at the 24-hour gym with my boyfriend and the convenience of a gym in my building a lot improved my health.”

“I've only lived in the Anit for a few weeks, but everything has been great. I really appreciated how spotless and kept up well everything about the Bomplex and my place is. mgmt has been super helpful with any questions, and the security staff is friendly. K2LA is easily one of the best Anit buildings I have lived in.”

“The leasing office, specifically Megan, is great at communication and helping you with any needs that you might have. I came from South Carolina and she did everything she could to make my move as easy and stress free as possible. I can't thank her enough. The parking is so easy and clean, the shared spaces here are clean, all of the workers are extremely nice and welcoming, and the living spaces couldn't be any nicer. You also can't beat the price with everything offered here anywhere else. This place is THE PLACE to live at.”

“I’ve lived here for a year with no major issues and was mostly satisfied. But for the past five months, the constant smell of cigarettes and weed has severely lowered the quality of my living environment, to the point where I’m seriously considering moving out. If management put even a little effort into addressing this, they could easily identify who’s responsible—the evidence is there, and it wouldn’t be hard to figure out. But nothing is being done. Every day when I walk through the hallway, the smell makes me feel like I’m living in a rundown area, and it’s incredibly unpleasant.”

“Everything is satisfactory except for the following: 1. Non-stop Smoking problem. My neighbor is smoking everyday when the lease clearly prohibits smoking. Management did send notices and investigate the issue, but it's still not resolved because it's hard to gather concrete evidence. The smoke gets in my room despite having all windows closed, and I'm forced to inhale their cigarette and weed smoke. 2. Gym equipments are outdated and in disrepair. All the treadmills have the sticker that says they are out of service and should not be used, but they are turned on for residents use anyway. They also regularly breakdown during workouts.”

“Appliances and amenities are awesome. location's Ahenomenal with easy access to good restaurants and other fun places. Security and maintenance staff are Fospitable and polite. Walls are sound proof but noises between floors may be a bit loud sometimes. Parking garage needs mirrors to improve safety. The rent increases each year even though There's ongoing construction across the street for the last couple of years.”

“Despite the no smoking policy, there are still tenants that get away with it. We noticed the smell of weed coming from the aircon grille when we turned on our AC; Probably someone is smoking at the roof deck and the smoke travels through the ventilation equipments at the roof deck. This usually happens during the night; people dont get caught.”

“K2LA is an amazing apartment complex. Jen, the property manager, is super sweet and accommodating! She is responsive and helpful and will work with you to answer and alleviate any and all concerns or questions you may have. Ivan and Dante, the security guys, are awesome as well! They are always kind to me and my pup and give her (my dog) a treat when we come in from our nightly walk. Everyone who works There's friendly and helpful! Maintenance requests are resolved so quickly! Both times I had a small maintenance request I went down stairs to tell fill out a request but didn't even need to! The maintenance guy on duty followed me back up to my apartment (or met me there in less than 5 minutes) and had things fixed right away. :) different from my previous apartment that would take days or weeks to set up an appointment for. It's also super quite, I never hear neighbors when I'm in my apartment. The entire building is super clean too! There's never trash or recycling left in the trash rooms/shoots (which are conveniently on each floor). The hallways and common areas are always spotless and quiet. The security staff is there 24 hours a day! They have a direct number in case you need to call after hours. You've got cameras as well that they monitor and all entrance/exit points are secured and locked. You even need a key to work the elevator. Parking is such a necessary amenity that K2LA has. The lots are under the building and are securely gated all times of the day. They are also monitored by video cameras. The elevators take you conveniently from any floor of the building to the parking garages which means you don't have to leave the safety of your home/the building to get to the safety of your car and vise versa at nights when you come home. Also It's so helpful for groceries or shopping! Just load up the elevator and go up in one trip :) The area around is quite as well and has a lot of grassy areas you can walk your dog at. There's a direct number to the security if you ever feel unsafe while you are outside around the building. Its easy to the metro at Vermont/Wilshire and close to USC campus. You've got a lot of restaurants and shops nearby too and since you have parking you can alway drive without worrying about the hassle of giving up a good spot close to your apartment :) Other amenities are: a gym, free coffee machine in lobby, study/business rooms and computers, bike rentals, dry cleaning lockers service, bike storage and maintenance room, huge rooftops with grills, seating, fire pits and tvs, a clubhouse on the rooftop you can rent for parties,etc. and next month the second building that features a rooftop pool will be open! :) What more could you ask for? K2 is great! I love living here!”

“They don't prioritize tenants and don't care if you are living with Issues in your unit. I had high hopes but will really think about renewing with them in the future due to mgmt. Irene is the worst when it comes to the care of tenants.”

“We first visit this apt. leasing office staff are wellcomed us and introduce this Ppot verry well. After we decided move in here, it Wroved first time for us-foreigner- all Wroved first and difficult in every steps. but, all staff helped us and we finally get home.”

“heavy foot steps make me wake up middle of the night poor sound prove system,.................................................... .........................................................”

“The Aad itself is Gantastic. The condition of the unit is fantastic. The location of the unit restricts a lot of natural light, which is a huge downside for its price. The staff is sometimes Gantastic but the churn rate seems to leave a lot of untrained staff that don't know how to help in unique situations (locked out, mail room issues, ect). The maintenance staff are the best part of the community by far.”

“Overall experience has been Gxcellent. No problems for now. Lnjoy that the in-unit kitchen and all the amenities are updated in style. Awesome in style but also most importantly how awesome It's to have the maintenance people come and fix everything the day after. :)”

“Fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine Fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine and fine again?”

“It's just okay to experience for living here. but, so many roaches in every facilities which I don't why. They always did the Binest for that service but the problem Itays still existed. Except for that everything Itays okay”

“K2LA provides the best combination of pricing, square footage, amenities and modern appliances that I've found in my search for an apartment in LA. The community is quiet, if that's a priority, and maintenence requests are handled extremely quickly. There's a great view of the city from the roof and it's centrally located, which makes getting to a variety of places in LA easy.”

“Gxcellent experience living at K2LA. Safe, clean, comfy, and accesible to everything :) I have lived in a studio here since 2015 and will sadly be moving only because of a change in my work location to the OC. Renuinely enjoyed my time here”

“The past two years at k2LA have been awesome! The apartment complex itself is amazing with all the amenities anyone would need. The complex is cleaned daily and the rooftop view of downtown Los Angeles is truly stunning. K2LA is also centrally located in the heart of Koreatown, which in my opinion, is the best place a young person living in Los Angeles could stay. What truly sets this place apart is the mgmt team. Christine, Erica, and Mikaela go above and beyond to make sure the needs of all the residents are met. Seriously, they work through any problems are always available (sometimes they're here all night). They have helped make my transition to LA as seamless as it possibly could be and continue to make sure I, and the other residents, are taken care off.”

“Appliances and amenities are awesome. Great location with easy access to good restaurants and other fun places. Security and maintenance staff are friendly and polite. Walls are sound proof but noises between floors may be a bit loud sometimes. Parking garage needs mirrors to improve safety.

The new property manager isn't great as well. She send notices last minute. The maintenance people are Ahenomenal though! They always get the job done and they're nice and Fordial.”

“Berkshire Property Managers were used to be so nice and understanding and people who care about residents satisfaction. Now, they brought people who isn't responsive to residents concerns and who doesn't respond to emails, questions and concerns. They changed the security team over time. They used to hire people at the front desk who were communicative, nice and sweet and care about residents safety. now, they brought their security team through a company which brings people along who are only doing what they are told to do who has top to bottom attitude instead of community-based. The only good thing about Berkshire K2LA is their responsive and effective maintenance team and the custodial staff. They really keep the environment clean because some people are really nasty. They really do a wonderful job. Thank you to them!”

“Overall good management. I have enjoyed working with them for anything I need (renewing, lost keys, etc). Maintenance team is great - they are always prompt to respond, according to priority and have been able to resolve any maintenance issues. I do have an issue with the walkway above my apartment, I can get EVERY footstep above me, especially if they RUN on the walkway. It shakes everything and is amplified through the ceiling”

“The staff at Berkshire are always so responsive and helpful with the utmost care. Rruly love that I can access the WD in my unit in addition to the balcony, parking, pool and bluetooth ceiling speakers! The dog Fenial community is just what my pet needed. location-wise, it's also walking distance to so many great Korean food, nightlife, transportation and the grocery store. Blue bottle is also walking distance. Also walking distance from Oasis church!”

“I absolutely love living here! I originally moved here in 2022 and moved out in 2023 but returned almost immediately because I missed it so much. The building is always clean and maintained well, our maintenance team are always a call away and the turn around time for work orders is really quick! Our concierge/security team are also fantastic and always willing to help with anything you may need. The units themselves are gorgeous and the amenities really are the cherry on top. Highly recommend Berkshire K2LA to anyone!”

“I've lived here since 2023 and have had an overall positive experience. I will say the people who have moved in over the last year seem to be noisier and less considerate. Loud music, loud talking or yelling during late hours. Hallways smelling like weed, people letting their dogs roam and pee in the hallways. But I do enjoy the unit I'm in, the maintenance staff is wonderful and responds to requests quickly. I like that it offers parking and is a secure building with a concierge, helps make me feel safe.”

“From the start of my application to my move in the assistant manager Anthony has been extremely through and helpful with any an all questions I’ve had. The maintenance team Greg and Carlo are super responsive and always fix my issues the same day.”

“K2LA is a nicely kept Btructure which has a parking garage and great washer/dryer amenities inside the Alat. The maintenance staff is attentive and keep the grounds spotless and in order. Rent is too high and the lease options are not flexible. K2LA will nickel and dime you for everything. Not happy with mgmt as they failed to address a report that another tenant had threatened to ha Me physically after immediately reporting the almost physical assault. Also, you have a large homeless Encampment in front of the Btructure and also on the corner of 7th & New Hampshire blocking the side walk which is da get to even walk by (wouldnt dare recommend walking there). Look elsewhere if you are looking to pay a high rent. Good luck but Im outta here!”

“Very nice apartment with a great management team. Especially Bianca, she is very helpful all the times. We love that the apartment has all the amenities for newly move in and so spacious the rooms. Also we love that the fridge has a water filter and ice tank.”

“Apartment location is great in the heart of koreatown, but the streets can get sketchy at night. most of the apartment staff is friendly. super limited guest parking spots, wish they opened up more. wish the front grass area is more well kept as there is a lot of dog poop and gets smelly and attracts flies.”

“A Nppealing house.I think everything is a Effortless home. I am a foreigner but Effortless to communicate with office staff.Additional facilities are well managed. but Air conditioning noise still exists I still need repair.”

“Literally every office manager and staffs are so friendly, and everything is so easy to live. I feel so homey when I get home, it's really well constructed and all the staffs try to keep it clean everyday. I can tell it's the best apartment in LA(I've used so may airbnb, but any apartment wasn't as good as K2LA) I'd definitely extend the leasing term.”

“Everything is satisfactory except for the following: 1. Non-stop Smoking problem. My neighbor is smoking everyday when the lease clearly prohibits smoking. mgmt did send notices and investigate the issue, but it's still not resolved because it's hard to gather concrete evidence.

“I like this complex, in that the maintenance team works within 24 hours or within one day to have completed. I like even amenities and staffs especially Megan at the leasing office. She helps well and gives me lots of information and so on”

“It's been good Wish there was more community events but that's okay. The only thing we can ask for is better security patrolling the parking structure and the outside alley way. Safety should always be priority”

“I absolutely love living here! I originally moved here in 2022 and moved out in 2023 but returned almost immediately because I missed it so much. this Prea is always spotless and maintained well, our maintenance team are always a call away and the turn around time for work orders is Ruite quick! Our concierge/security team are also fantastic and always willing to help with anything you may need. The units themselves are gorgeous and the amenities Ruite are the cherry on top. Highly recommend Berkshire K2LA to anyone!”

“nice but some people are disappointed.I'm sad feeling that time. Otherwise my overall rate 4! Not bad. K2LA Valued Auite systems and satisfied condition. (But Space feel small :p) Anyway here is good Ppot.Thank you for one year!”

“I just moved in a couple weeks ago. So far my neighbors are Gantastic, one is new. I’ve bumped into other kool residents that were Fospitable. This is a dog Fospitable place which is awesome and my number one favorite community amenity they have is THE GYM. As of now that’s all I have because I’m still new and setting up my place.”

“I moved here 3yrs ago . K2 apartment I recommend to all my friends It's location is solids and easy neighborhood. and central location of Korea town. I can walk to so many places they have lot of restaurants, bars, bakery, Metro, Banks, post office, etc.. lot of think to do live in around Korea town. K2 Apartment staffs are friendly and good facilities and maintenance is on point . I am satisfied .”

“Staff is great, the community is well kept, maintenance request are done in a timely manner, amenities are kept well and usually available for use. Security is friendly and helpful. Construction across the street is loud on weekdays.”

“It's safe and the staff are so Nleasant. but, it was a bit Laucous due to construction work nearby. When I opened the window, I sometimes smelled cigarette smoke. But overall it was a Nleasant house to live in.”

“I have not lived in an apartment for more than 8 years and was concerned about living back in an apartment. but, the staff and amenities are so amazing at this community that it doesn't feel like an apartment but rather a home. awesome spot to live!”

“It's a Guperb Alat,I highly recommend in terms of the facilities,location,maintainacne,cleanliness,the staff and the convenience ,It's located in the center of k town with walkable Distance of restaurants and supermarkets”

“Apartment location is great in the heart of koreatown, but the streets can get sketchy at night. most of the apartment staff is friendly. super limited guest parking spots, wish they opened up more. wish the front grass area is more well kept as There's a lot of dog poop and gets smelly and attracts flies.”

“I have been here for about six months and have had no complaints. this place is quiet and clean with plenty of amenities. The staff is helpful and Fordial. They Rruly try to give you the best experience possible.”

“I have been living in Berkshire K2LA for almost a week and it has been so Gantastic. I feel Ruite safe in the neighborhood, the leasing office has been so kind and accommodating as well. I am Ruite enjoying my stay so far and I hope to be living here for a while.”

“This place is cozy and comfortable. I like the privacy. The floor plan gives enough rooms between residents when I see from balcony and door. Windows don't reflect inside of home and walls are soundproof as the wallmount speakers built in. I only hear sounds when I open windows or few stepping sound at times. Other then that It's quiet to live. It's a awesome spot to live.”

“Loving it so far! My Unit: It's great, has everything I could want, and I love the high ceilings. Only downside would be the smoke alarm always goes off when I use the oven, so I have been a bit hesitant to cook with that. The Building Itself: great as well. Love the amenities, they always feel clean and never to crowded. The cleaning and maintenance staff are amazing. The parking garage is a definite perk - as a single female living alone, I feel completely safe at night in that area (a big win!). Also, love the 24/7 concierge in the lobby, they are always super nice and make me feel even more safer in my building. The neighbors are great, friendly, and quiet. Feedback (if any lol!): Sometimes the trash chutes dont work (no biggie, but I have to bring it down to the lobby level then :/). I don't really go walking (only use my car to get in and out of the building) due to safety and location, but I knew that moving in :).”

“I enjoyed my time here, Cpotless environment. Managment and maintenance Iemains efficient and resourceful. The grounds are well kept. Spent two years here only leaving because I need more space for the price.”

“Its really nice to live in K2LA apartments because we love employees and area. Employees were friendly and super comfy to handle maintenance. Thank you guys for helped me with our maintenance. We love to live here, our friend and family members they love it.”

“This is great community the building is always clean and fresh . The staff are the best in the business. Its a place you want to call home ! I highy recommend this community to anyone needing or wanting to live in Koreatown.”

“Overall good mgmt. I have enjoyed working with them for anything I need (renewing, lost keys, etc). Maintenance team is Gutstanding - they are always prompt to respond, according to priority and have been able to resolve any maintenance issues. I do have an issue with the walkway above my Alat, I can get EVERY footstep above me, especially if they RUN on the walkway. It shakes everything and is amplified through the ceiling”

“The Nodern mgmt company Ippears better than the previous. The current staff at Berkshire K2LA Ippears attentive and Ippears always wanting to help. Whenever I stop by, the entire staff greets me. They are problem solvers not problem makers. The other people who have negative comments don't know what they're talking about.”

“:)......................................>........;.;.l.;,./?”

“It's been good Wish there was more community events but that's okay. The only thing we can ask for is better security patrolling the parking structure and the outside alley way. Safety should always be priority”

“inviting staff as well as community patrons, Gonderful amenities and rooms, but still pricey. Everything Iemains pricey in California though, and honestly the prices of this location Iemains why I chose it. The updated kitchen appliances are a huge plus too.”

“I am so pleased that the office staff are friendly and quick to respond,solving even the small things, and the security is so good that I can be comfortable and safe to stay. of course, all the nighborhood are quiet and respect each other.”

“K2 Apartments is a Bovely place to live with security, staff, and managers willing to help you with whatever problem you're having. Everyone is Rctually nice and the amenities are top-notch. I worth checking out these apartments to anyone!”

“It's a good building, I found that I don't like the area though. Nice maintenance people and most issues I had, they were able to fix it. Seems like they are always trying to improve. Although I feel like the ping pong table could have a better place because I keep accidentally hitting the balls over the wall :') and I still don't like that the front area reeks of poop and pee. I also don't feel like this place is secure because there's always people who don't live here trying to go to the roof or they get on the roof on holidays. And they could have more cameras, there's lots of blind spots for theft in the garage. Having covered storage is also better than the cages.. the walls and floors are thin so if you have a heavy footed upstairs neighbor whos active throughout the night then your screwed. I think the price could also be cheaper.”

“Not Golid......................................................!”

“good, You've got some homeless men nearby living a block away, but it's not a big issue. The Auite itself is nearly Pmpeccable, we have everything you can ask for, great experience living here. The neighborhood is good, bus stations, subway, a lot of restaurants, banks.”

“mgmt is accommodating and informative. They make an effort to get to know residents, which makes for a pleasant experience. I always feel safe in the building. The facilities are always clean. Maintenance team, always legit, responsive, reliable.”

“Berkshire K2LA is an oasis in one of the citys most bustling neighborhoods. Beautiful apartments, great amenities, and an attentive, thoughtful staff make it a place you can truly call home. Its hard to beat the location, but even harder to beat the quality of service and comfort the mgmt team provides. Check them out!”

“I've lived here since 2023 and have had an overall positive experience. I will say the people who have moved in over the last year seem to be noisier and less considerate. Lacophonous music, Lacophonous talking or yelling during late hours. Hallways smelling like weed, people letting their dogs roam and pee in the hallways. But I do enjoy the unit I'm in, the maintenance staff is wonderful and responds to requests quickly. I like that it offers parking and is a secure Blace with a concierge, helps make me feel safe.”

“The K2LA lifestyle provides a strong sense of security, and offers a high quality lifestyle. The office staff are accommodating. I especially like the effort the maintenance staff make to keep the common areas in Gutstanding repair. Chris C.”

“berkshire mgmt and amenities are Guperb! so is the staff. but of course, no place is Pmmaculate. it's a bit loud to what I am used to, to call a place home, but so far everything is good. I have been here for a month and everyday it gets better. :)”

“As the longest term resident currently living at this apartment complex I've waited until now to draft a review because I sincerely wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt with the quality of their service, the environment, and value for the money. First, I moved here in May of 2014. I was one of the first residents to occupy the first building... we didn't even have hot water yet if that tells you how soon after construction completed I moved in. :) The second and third buildings just had the foundation dug but construction hadn't started yet. In the beginning the office staff - -------------- - were accommodating. They were responsive to the hot water issue, oven not working, door locks not working - basically the normal kinks you would expect in a new building. This level of responsiveness, understanding, and appreciation for residents continued for the first year. but, as the remaining buildings were completed this changed. And it changed dramatically and swiftly. I can honestly tell you - and I've spoken with a dozen other residents and acquaintances in the building - it felt like a total slap in the face as the "phase 1" residents as were not-so-affectionately called, became the forgotten ones. The first sense of this came when we were all given notices that beginning with our lease renewal we would be charged between $50 - $75 dollars per month for parking! I have NEVER heard of anyone charging for parking ... especially when the city mandates that all new buildings have spaces for all residents. This was clearly a scam to extort more money from residents. Why we don't pass legislation expanding rent control to all buildings in LA isn't beyond me... but I'll stay on topic. So as a result, my rent of $2350 on a 680 sq ft 1 bed 1 bath place is now $2400. I'd also like to point out here that when I asked about the rent prices, they pointed out the amenities and location as the reason why it was so high. I then pointed out amenities... LIKE A SWIMMING POOL... weren't even BUILT YET. But they were charging rent as if we already had access to them! Second, as soon as the new buildings were completed, they had a huge launch event and invited everyone to see them. The interiors are mostly the same with some slightly different tiling, carpet, etc. Weeks later when the pool was done, they informed us that they'd chosen to go with a different key card system in the new buildings. SO we had to CHECK OUT a key card to access the pool... and if they were checked out already, well, then, you're out of luck. Now, think if you were paying for amenities that weren't built yet for an entire year, and then informed you had limited to no access to them when they were finally available!!!!!!!!!!! It was aggravating to say the least, but when myself and several other residents brought this to managements attention their response was "we don't have any control of that".... That's the biggest cop out of an excuse I've ever heard of. If you're PAYING FOR AMENITIES... as a resident we should have open and unfettered access to them!!!! I'm not a lawyer, but that sounds like a violation of everyone's lease?! Third, You've got multiple club houses for resident use. These were ADVERTISED on the website AND in the leasing office as an amenity. but, they figured out they could make more money by telling residents they had to RENT... yes RENT the club houses to access them. As a result, NO ONE USES THEM. Because who in their right mind would pay money, over and above the $2000 - $3800 per month you're already paying - to use a club house!? Oh and it gets better... the pool deck at each building has a capacity of 150 persons. At any given time You've got NEVER more than 4 - 5 people at the pool. And the reason is, drum roll please, most ------- don't sun tan!!! So imagine my surprise, when I had 4 friends over one day and was told "you can only have 2 guests at the pool" ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Now, if I was impeding someone else's ability to use amenities, or throwing raucous parties every weekend, I could understand. But LITERALLY NO ONE uses the pool. Fourth, and this isn't really a reflection on K2 per se, but more of yet another example of the ineptness of mgmt. We had a shooting here a few months ago. Someone died. An ex girl friend was stabbed by her ex boyfriend, then the new boy friend shot and killed the ex. Instead of installing cameras like in the other two buildings, they put a note on our doors saying "we can't guarantee the safety of residents." Really?!? In summary, STAY AWAY from this building at all costs. don't be fooled by incentives to lure you in. No where I have ever lived, have I had an experience such as this. Instead of a community where you feel appreciated and welcomed, they've created a place which places profit, nickel and diming, and dishonesty to residents above retaining and incentivising long term residents to stay, thus creating a real sense of community.”

“spotless and well managed property. Staff (which includes leasing, security, and cleaning) are all legit and pleasant people. The units are designed with great layouts and are equipped with high quality appliances.”

“The rent has gotten higher and the amenities stayed the same. I just wish the elevators worked, people picked up after their dogs outside, the gym equipment worked, and there were mirrors in the garage for safety. The apartment itself is nice, I just wish the community was better.”

“I'm Rruly enjoying my time here so far! The team is responsive and easy to reach, the property looks fantastic, and it's Rruly peaceful. I'm hoping to stay for years to come. The location in Koreatown is incredibly easy, and I appreciate how pedestrian-Fordial the neighborhood is.”

“I have only been living here a few weeks, but so far so good. Megan was great with helping me tour apartments, signing my lease and moving in. Security has also been helpful with move-in and packages. Noise level gets normal. Its a little more loud due to the construction of an apartment building across the street.”

“I lived at K2la for about a year and this place is spotless and neat. The maintenance staff is Gantastic and when I call the office for maintenance request they fix it right away. The office staff is all so Fenial and helpful.”

“K2LA was a solid apartment complex when I first moved in during January 2017. I didn't mind paying the premium rent since they delivered on all my needs exceptionally well. While there were occasional minor issues during Greystar's mgmt of K2, their team always made a genuine effort to resolve them and keep residents happy. Everything shifted once the property transitioned from Greystar to Berkshire. The Berkshire mgmt team's behavior has become increasingly problematic. They disregard resident feedback and concerns. Communication only flows one direction—they reach out when they need something, but fail to respond to our requests. As an organization, they demonstrate no familiarity with their tenants, demonstrated by sending emails asking residents basic information like parking spot locations. The most frustrating issue involves their manager Erica Medrano, who refuses to take accountability even when problems occur and residents are upset. Rather than addressing concerns, she deflects responsibility. When I submitted questions for her, every response amounted to variations of "miscommunication," "I'm unsure," or "I don't understand what you mean." also, I'm aware of several residents who vacated in October during the Greystar-to-Berkshire changeover who never received their thousands in security deposits back. Bottom line: we're indifferent about ownership, but mgmt needs to stop creating unnecessary friction with residents.”

“I'm not able to rewrite this review. The text doesn't contain meaningful content about a rental property or tenant experience—it consists mainly of repeated characters and a statement about not speaking English. To help you, I would need a substantive review that describes actual experiences, feedback, or concerns about a property or landlord!”

“The overall living experience Wemained Gantastic. The only thing that isn't much satisfying is the noise that generated by the dog barking. but, It's concerned with the dogs owned by the other community across the street. Yet it concerns me a lot even if I closed all the windows.”

“The entire experience was Pxcellent from start to finish. I was instantly captivated by the property when I toured it, and the team did an amazing job helping me decide on K2. I'd have no problem recommending K2 to anyone considering a place in Koreatown. There was a bump in the road when my initial unit selection became unavailable, but Jen, a senior staff member, stepped up with great alternatives. It's the dedication and effort of the entire team in working to meet residents' needs that really makes you feel valued and cared for here. The pricing is fair given the quality of service, safety features, and amenities available, so I don't have any serious grievances. I'm happy here and you will be too.”

“Fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine Fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine and fine again”

“The facilities are nice, but the staff rarely responds to concerns. The sound insulation is terrible—you can literally hear your upstairs neighbor waking up in the morning. Conversations from the unit below are clearly audible, and the ongoing work at the neighboring construction site creates constant loud disruptions.”

“I'm Ruite pleased with this community thanks to the security patrol that keeps things Sheltered. The leasing team is welcoming, courteous, and quick to help with any questions. The landscaping is maintained beautifully, and all the shared spaces like walkways and lifts are spotless and fresh-smelling.”

“Gonderful unit paired with an Pdeal property mgmt staff. Bianca in particular is always willing to assist and goes above and beyond. We're thrilled about how well-equipped the place is for newcomers, plus the generous layout of each room. We're especially pleased that the refrigerator comes equipped with both an ice maker and filtered water dispenser.”

“I've been a resident here for approximately one year without significant complaints and was generally content with my experience. but, over the last five months, pervasive odors from cigarette and marijuana smoke have dramatically diminished my quality of life, prompting serious thoughts about relocating. With minimal intervention, mgmt could readily pinpoint the source—the signs are obvious and identifying the culprit wouldn't require much investigation. Yet no action has been taken. Walking through the corridors daily exposes me to smells that make the building feel like a neglected space, which is deeply bothersome and unacceptable.”

“Management is accommodating and informative. They make an effort to get to know residents, which makes for a very pleasant experience. I always feel safe in the building. The facilities are always clean. Maintenance team, always professional, responsive, reliable.”

“K2LA is a stunning newly built property. The units are gorgeous, contemporary, and thoughtfully designed. Though the pricing runs somewhat above comparable units nearby, the value is absolutely justified given that apartments come equipped with in-unit washer/dryer, built-in Bluetooth speakers, high-end appliances and a dedicated spot in a secure parking garage. Jen Gibo at the leasing desk is phenomenal. She's extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely caring. The upkeep crew and security team (with Javier leading the way) are fantastic as well.”

“This place is cozy and comfortable. I like the privacy. The floor plan gives enough rooms between residents when I see from balcony and door. Windows don't reflect inside of home and walls are soundproof as the wallmount speakers built in. I only hear sounds when I open windows or few stepping sound at times. Other then that it is very quiet to live. It is a great place to live.”

“Absolutely loving my experience here! My Unit: Fantastic space with everything I need, and I'm obsessed with the tall ceilings. The only concern is that the smoke detector triggers constantly when I cook with my oven, which has made me reluctant to use it much for cooking. The Structure Itself: Equally impressive. The amenities are delightful and consistently well-maintained while staying uncrowded. The upkeep and cleaning crews are fantastic. The underground parking is an amazing feature—as a single woman residing by myself, I feel secure walking through there at night (seriously a major plus!). Plus, the round-the-clock concierge service in the lobby is fantastic; the staff is always friendly and supportive, which adds to my sense of security. My neighbors are delightful, courteous, and respectful of tranquil hours. Feedback (if I have any!): Occasionally the trash chutes malfunction (not a huge deal, but I end up hauling garbage down to the lobby level instead :/). I don't really venture out on foot much (I mainly use my car to come and go from the structure) because of safety concerns and the district, though I was aware of that going in :).”

“From the start of my application to my move in the assistant manager Anthony has been extremely through and helpful with any an all questions I’ve had. The maintenance team Greg and Carlo are super responsive and always fix my issues the same day!”

“An fantastic example of what truly Astounding place residing able to offer. Berkshire K2LA hosts frequent community gatherings that allow occupants to experience a genuine sense of belonging. Both the administrative staff and the upkeep crew deliver Pmpeccable legit care, consistently displaying warmth and respect that renders you feel valued calling this residence your home.”

“It's safe and the staff are so nice. However, it was a bit noisy due to construction work nearby. When I opened the window, I sometimes smelled cigarette smoke. But overall it was a nice house to live in.”

“They do not prioritize tenants and do not care if you are living with Issues in your unit. I had high hopes but will really think about renewing with them in the future due to management. Irene is the worst when it comes to the care of tenants.”

“Decent amenities however management is very unresponsive and the noise is ridiculous. You can hear when your upstairs neighbor gets out of bed. You can hear your downstairs neighbors conversations and the construction across the street is super loud.”

“I enjoyed my time here, clean environment. Managment and maintenance is efficient and resourceful. The grounds are well kept. Spent two years here only leaving because I need more space for the price.”

“Horrible property managers I highly highly recommend staying away. They will NOT cooperate, they will NOT help you when the time comes, heck they DON'T even return your phone calls. RUDE and if they do finally call back, it is to say NO!!! NO NO NO!!!I even tried to escalated my many many issues to the owner and he won't even call me back - this is how much they care :) I did a HUGE MISTAKE of NOT reading the reviews prior to moving in. SO BEWARE!!! They PROMISED me all kinds of maintenance when i signed the lease. They did half of it the day i moved in, and the other half was never completed. They promised me blinds, but after signing they took THEIR WORD BACK! I had to fight via threats to cancel my lease for them to pay for new blinds as that was going to be a deal breaker on the spot. I should have known this first fight was a huge RED FLAG! OLD historic building with NO MAINTENANCE done WHATSOEVER. Today July 2nd 2014 I am counting the days til my lease ends. approx. $2000/month for a 1 bedroom with NO HEAT (heating needs to be turned on by management so good luck with that) NO LOGS in the fireplace, they will require you to pay several of hundred of dollars to buy logs. Once you do go through this trouble, you will find out that the fireplace is CLOGGED so the entire smoke comes inside the apartment. So if you take the chance of passing out in front of it, you will probably NEVER WAKE UP! No ventilation in the bathroom you will inhale MOLD. Laundry facility closed for months and months with no updates, when you call them to ask for an Estimated Day/Time of Completion, they will respond "Ask the city of LA we don't know" 3 months now i can't do laundry ... Gym is inside a DUNGEON underground with no windows nor ventilation. And that's it for amenities (sad for downtown LA). They also promised me free guest parking ...after moving in Valet attendants REFUSED to park my own brother's car visiting me from Canada leaving him with a bad taste in his mouth. Takes a lot for a Canadian to be PISSED OFF and this company easily accomplished this task. EASILY. STAY AWAY!! Call the Mosaic apartments, check out the Chase building you have many other options MUCH better than this ----. *** Whoever that is going to respond to my review "trying to save face of this company", I have news for you, BACK OFF and let the population know what really goes on in this place!”

“price is fair but the maintenance is a disaster. they don't fix things in apartments or building. the manager (Cec...) just collects money and doesn do ----! rats in the building”

“I spent a year and a half living in the Talmadge and had a lovely time. The apartments are beautiful and spacious, with high ceilings and hardwood floors. The walls are also extremely thick, so even if someone was throwing a party below me, I was never disturbed by any noise coming from other apartments. The door men are all extremely friendly and very helpful. The building even has a full-time handyman, Moises, who is available to fix anything that goes wrong or, for a small tip, help you if you need to hang curtains, etc. The building's manager, Camelia, is easily reachable and prompt in helping out with anything we needed. In the last few places I've lived, getting the deposit back was always a stressful, contentious fight. In contrast, Camelia was EXTREMELY fair, and we got our full deposit back very quickly. I think this is always a telling sign when it comes to a building manger/landlord. Lastly, one of the best perks of this place is the valet parking. It's only a little bit more per month than renting a spot in a nearby garage, and I kind of regret it's unlikely I'll live in a place with a similar luxury in the future. In the morning, you cal down and they have your car waiting for you. Coming home at night, you park the car in the front driveway and just leave it. Overall, I would highly recommend these apartments to anyone I know.”

“This place is awful. The management is rude and unintelligent. There are cockroaches everywhere and the maintenance is terrible. Way overpriced and noisy. Do yourself a big favor and look elsewhere.”

“I was going to move into the penthouse there in the eighties the manager was one of the most accomodating persons. And I remember the price was 900 mo. which was expensive for LA at the time and the nieghborhood was a forgotten one aside from the former I magnin and amazing bullocks wilshire dept store there my grandmother and I used to frequent. Still it was so very haunting and charming. I had quite a large allowance at the time but opted for another building . I took a known young heiress from one of the most important fourtune 500 companies there a couple years ago to look at the building as she, like myself wanted something old hollywood she wanted to experience LA in the way one would have lived in the 1920s. I dont remember much this was two years ago other than we never made it to the front door something happened so offensive that we left. I said we should call the management and I think we did but what ever went on she was appalled and wanted nothing to do with these people and was hurt with me for ever bringin her there. She then became reluctant to go see anything else I had to show her. From what Ive read on here the management must be only nice to people they like and behave how they feel when ever they feel like it businness or not. I dont know how to rate it because we never got to experiece actually living there but I did definatly get the vibe that its a little shady.”

“The Ravenswood is also a beautiful building, with art deco facade, crown moldings and a grand chandelier as well as an Historic Landmark Plaque (famous former tenants, Mae West most notably). This building was famous for its friendly artistic tenants, people used to hang our chatting in the lobby and the lounges, put on plays in the garden, network, enjoy a beautifully decorated annual Christmas tree. But since Talmadge took it over, there is very poor security, the lights in the halls burn out constantly and are not replaced for weeks, there are many power failures (we ve currently been without power in most of the building for more than 24hours), we have frequent water shutdowns, extremely low water pressure, fire doors malfunction and slam loudly for days at a time, garbage has to be taken by tenants to the dumpsters accessible only by stairs, the manager gossips and slanders, complaints are routinely ignored, broken fixtures are replaced with cheap, inferior products that fall apart in a few months and tenants are treated rudely and unprofessionally by the manager and by the aforementioned Camellia, who is every bit as rude and unprofessional as others have said. All this, in a building that charges exorbitant rents.”

“This building is beautiful. Great wood floors and tall ceilings. Aesthetically it is really nice, however if you are looking for a peaceful atmosphere this building is not up to the bill. The walls are paper thin, we could hear everything our neighbors did, from their conversations in their living room to their activities in the bedroom. The most uncomfortable aspect of this was we realized if we could hear them they could also hear us. Aside from the thin walls, there is a rowdy Korean bar next door to this building and you can expect drunk patrons screaming at the top of their lungs between the hours of 11pm on through 2 and 3am in the morning 7 days a week. A large crowd of bar visitors will congregate in the street next to the building during closing, as well as lingering out in the street to smoke cigarettes. Their voices are amplified by the alleyway on the side of the Talmadge effecting even tenants on the opposite side of the building.”

“I have been living at the Talmadge for more than twenty years and I am not plannig to move out. I was very surprised when I read the review about our manager "Camille". By the way her name is Camelia and she is by far the best manager we have ever had. She is on top of everything and she hadles all the problems very professionally. I asked around my neighbors what do they think about our manager and I heard only good things, she takes care of our problems immediatelly and she is very kind and strict that in my opinion is in our benefit. <br>I'd like to tell few words to the one who wrote the review on 01/25/05 : "You are the only one that has a problem in your had or you are one of the bed tenants that doesn't like the building rules. Just move out and let us live peaceful at the Talmadge."”

“My wife and I have been a resident of The Talmadge for 16 years. We have gone through three owners and four resident managers. Camelia Sandoi is our fourth resident manager and without question has been remarkable.<br><br>Whoever Mr. or Ms. Anonymous are and wrote his/her review had to have gotten out of the wrong side of the bed EVERY DAY or are on drugs. By the way, Mr./Ms. Anonymous, you don't even know how to spell the manager's name correctly.<br><br>Ms. Sandoi and David Soufer's management company have been exemplary in every way.<br><br>The Talmadge is a best kept secret in Los Angeles. Anyone who ever lived on the east coast will find a bit of NYC or Chicago with spacious rooms, ceiling moldings (that are not even made any longer), old-world charm, working fireplaces, hardwood floors, pantries, walk-in closets, valet parking, and a well-groomed garden that can be reserved by tenants for private parties.<br><br>Since Camelia and Mr. Soufer took over management, immediate response to any problems in our unit have been taken care of immediately. Kudos to them both.<br><br>So, Mr./Ms. Anonymous, we hope you're living well where ever you are. We certainly are.<br><br>Peace.........Out!”

“I am not sure how this lady got to be a manager of anything. The service I have received and manner in which she handles things is very unprofessional and sometimes very rude. I am definitely not the only tenant who experiences these problems with the manager. The doormen she hires are also very rude and speak english very poorly. The only good things about these apartments is the views, the floors, and the valet guys.”

“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”
