Hollywood Off Vine (Hov)

This is a very cozy and welcoming place, and I’m genuinely excited about the opportunity to live here for the upcoming year. I’m currently waiting for the final lease confirmation, but I already wanted to share my experience so far. I’d especially like to highlight the leasing office team. The managers have been incredibly professional, patient, and supportive throughout the entire process. They were always responsive, explained everything in great detail, and made sure I fully understood each step. As an international applicant, my process naturally takes a bit longer than usual, but the team truly went above and beyond. They consistently advocated for me, stayed on top of my application, and did their absolute best to help get everything approved by the landlord. I genuinely felt that they were standing by me and supporting me until the very end. I’m very grateful for their help and understanding, and I truly hope everything is finalized soon. I would be happy to spend the next year living in this beautiful place, surrounded by palm trees in the heart of Hollywood. Highly recommended!

Please carefully reconsider this apartment complex before moving in. Since moving in over a year ago, I have experienced persistent and severe roach infestations throughout the building. Roaches regularly emerge from outlets, baseboards, and wall cracks—both inside units and in common areas. Management frequently places blame on residents; however, the extent and frequency of the infestation indicate a larger building-wide issue. My unit alone has required pest treatment five times within one year, which is not normal or acceptable. At this point, spot treatments are ineffective—the building requires comprehensive tenting. Roaches have even been found inside appliances, including the refrigerator, which is deeply concerning and unhygienic. I’m counting down the days, until I can get out of this nightmare. I don’t drive, however, parking is extremely limited. Residents who drive must join a waitlist, with no clear timeline for availability. Noise disturbances are frequent. Neighbors are often inconsiderate, with excessive stomping and disruptive behavior at all hours. Additionally, there is concerning activity from nearby units, including frequent loitering by unfamiliar individuals directly outside residential doors, creating an unsafe and uncomfortable environment. The laundry room is unsanitary. Machines have a strong mildew odor and are consistently dirty, covered in pet hair and debris. Common hallways are poorly maintained, often containing dead roaches. Package theft is also an ongoing issue. Management requires residents to file a police report before they will review security footage, placing unnecessary burden on tenants and offering little preventative support. For a more accurate picture of tenant experiences, I recommend reading reviews on multiple platforms before making a decision.

If you want a nice affordable Apartment/ studio, this is not the place to rent. They are charging $1300 plus for 192sqft Micro studio that doesn’t have an oven, tub or closet, and as of February will be raising the rent about $70 with no substantial repairs of changes that make anything easier for the tenants and the apartments have ROACHES. There is no parking and you have to be put on a waitlist if you do want parking and that’s not guaranteed; the street parking is also terrible. The best thing about this place is the location but that is it. They don’t notify you properly if there are any issues that affect the whole building and leave you having to seek information on your own. I’m a fairly easy person to please and this place is far below satisfactory.

My daughter has lived in this building for almost two years, and it has been a nightmare. The unit has a serious roach infestation, with roaches coming out of the outlets, the microwave, and even the refrigerator. Yet management continues to charge full rent for an apartment that is essentially unlivable. Management constantly gives residents the runaround. Repeatedly saying they need to "treat" the unit. My daughter's apartment has been treated five times, and each treatment has made little to no difference. The infestation only worsens. At one point management even claimed she had not recently reported pest issues, despite her having documented proof. Once confronted they simply defaulted back to scheduling yet another Treatment. Constant exposure to pest control chemicals is not healthy or acceptable for anyone. On top of this there is a severely disruptive upstairs neighbor who stomps around at all hours, shaking the walls and windows. Management has been notified multiple times and has done absolutely nothing to resolve the issue. This property shows zero concern for tenant health, safety, or quality of life. I strongly recommend staying away.

We have a the Rent manager here by the name of Rose. She's been kind with us as tenets, helping us with situations around the apartment in general (lights and etc). Definitely a person you want to be on good terms with.

I truly enjoy living at Hollywood Off Vine! The management team is incredibly responsive and friendly, and maintenance issues are always resolved quickly. Rosa and Nate, in particular, are outstanding-they truly make the complex feel like home. The property is secure, with cameras at every entrance and exit, which adds to the peace of mind. The location is fantastic-walkable and convenient, making errands and exploring the area a breeze. I'd highly recommend Hollywood Off Vine to friends and family. It's a great place to live in Hollywood!

On 2/14/25, Hollywood Off-Vine maintenance staff entered my apartment with a pest control "technician" who are the men in this video and photos. They entered my unit and this said "technician" purposely knocked over my Ring security camera. My Ring camera captured this unknown man looking at the camera, inspecting the area behind it with the flashlight on his phone, then using his phone to knock over the camera. After knocking it over, he can still be seen in the background looking behind some of my other belongings inside my unit. I believe he did this so he would not be surveilled by my camera. I am not certain that these two men did not steal or plant anything in my apartment. I was not provided with a 24-hour notice from my landlord/property management to enter my unit, which is a violation of CA landlord/tenant law. I contacted management reminding them of the agreed upon pest control services the day before, which they had already previously cancelled several times last minute, and I did not hear from them until I reached out again via email the next morning. However, I did not receive any required notice informing me that they were entering the unit. One was never posted, nor mailed to me. I informed the maintenance team and management via email that I would have a Ring camera positioned in my unit that would inform me of their arrival. Upon entering my unit, this man shown in the video, accompanied by the maintenance staff at Hollywood Off Vine, immediately walked over to my camera positioned in the corner of my unit, stood directly in front of it, and knocked it over. I promptly reported this incident to both on-site managers, Rosa Leyvas and Luca Michetti, who both were combative/hostile, failed to provide any formal resolution, and dismissed this incident as an "accident". I am writing this as a public safety notice to inform other potential tenants of the shady and unsafe practices of some of the maintenance staff at HOV. It also raises concerns of the type of people they hire as help to perform services.

Someone should give their reception training. I went to their website because I was redirected from Zillow. The page was for 6212 La Miranda ( 1 address so you would think 1 building) with 2 units posted and the person sugestted the 2 units could "possibly" be at two different buildings even though the zillow page is for a specifc address. Make it make sense...He just kept repeating you have have to come into office for us to work with you. No over the phone customer service once so ever. Buddy even if you get me in office with that salesman ship I think I'd rather find another complex.

Really enjoy living at the apartment that is managed by this company. They are very responsive to our needs. Anything that we need fixed or attended to is met with professionalism and expedience. Nice property, safe, well kept. Great amenities! Laundry on site, Parking available. Quiet and clean. We are lucky to have found a place like this in the heart of Hollywood! Thank you.

Very helpful! I reached out to schedule a showing and they were able to get me a showing the same day, which was very convenient for my situation. They listened to my needs and the communication was very clear and quick. They were able to get me into an apartment in a timely manner and showed concern for my needs. I definitely recommend talking to Luca or Nate.

Rosa is an amazing manager! She assisted with helping with the renovation of the apartments making them look brand new. She's a compassionate, and understanding manager. I would recommend Cannon management to anybody who wants to live comfortably long term.

This is the 1 BR apartment I had for 4 months at HOV. I love the price I love the the management very approachable ,Nate and Rosa thank you for all the assistance. You are wonderful. I wish I could stay longer but I have to relocate! God bless you all.

Good friendly manager and good customer service. They willing to work with me even though credit not great. They very helpful with application process

Nate has been so helpful in my transition into moving in one of their studio apartments. My apartment was move in ready and has followed up with any needs I have to be met since. I am one month into living here and I LOVE IT. Possibly the best experience I have ever had moving into an apartment specially in HOLLYWOOD. Nate and Rosa have helped me feel at home. 10/10

The management, most especially Rosa, has been very helpful from filling out rental application, to guiding us through move in procedure and guaranteeing a private parking spot in the HOV garage. The grounds are gated, well lit and kept clean, as well as the outdoor sitting areas It's generally very quiet in the grounds and in our room. Appliances all work fine and if there's a problem maintenance arrives at a reasonable time. Lived here for over a year. I could recommend HOV to a person looking for a mid priced apartment in Hollywood. 4.5 stars

I had a wonderful experience living here for a year and half. Rosa the property manager is so helpful and kind. Kenny the maintenance manager is absolutely wonderful. This is such a charming lovely place to live. I will always look back at my memories at Hollywood off Vine fondly.

I lived here for 2 years and can only speak to my experience living at the 6216 la mirada address of the HOV complex. That being said, overall I liked my time here at HOV. I lived in a bachelor/studio. The reason I left is due to parking and needing more space...more details about parking under the "cons" section. Pros: -My unit was newly renovated when I moved in, so everything was super new and clean. -I really liked how secure my portion of the complex was. -Management (Alex & Rosa) were always responsive to me and tended to issues/concerns in a timely manner. -Kenny the maintenance man is the absolutely BEST and was great to know during my time here -For the most part, very quiet. -Online rent-pay system (and you CAN use CC's to pay aka get those reward points!!!) Cons: -Airbnb etc. is supposed to be illegal based on the lease agreements, but the unit next to mine had new people weekly since the first day I moved in. I bought this up to/documented it to management, but nothing ever came from it. -This was a bachelor/studio unit-so the kitchen is a kitchenette-there isn't a real (powerful) stove and the fridge is a mini-fridge. NOT the ideal unit if you're trying to cook/stay healthy with food. -Parking: It exists, however exclusive and coveted. Luckily I was able to get a spot after 8 months of living there. However, they started the earthquake retro fit March of 2019 which is eliminating parking for 4 months, and in the center of Hollywood, that really was terrible. (Happy they are doing this to amp up safety, but I am biased/extra bitter about parking as I had two accidents while my car was parked on the street before getting a parking spot). Overall, it was a great place to live and I would come back to live here in the future (in a bigger unit and with parking).

I really wish it was possible to rate this place negative stars. To rate them one star is an insult to one star businesses. I saw an ad on a apartment rental website for this property and was interested in taking a tour or an available unit. So I reached out and inquired about if they had any available units and if possible set up a date and time to view it. So after emailing back and forth with a lady named Valerie we set up an appointment for 2pm on Friday 9/30. At 8:30am that Friday I received an email from Valerie basically confirming our appointment. So I head over to the apartment which is a good half hour or so from where I currently live to take my tour. When I arrived at the leasing office I was greeted by a very unprofessional woman who has mastered in the skills of being completely clueless and lacks basic common sense and courtesy. I state who I am and what I was there for and she said we don't have any units to show today the last one has been rented out. Now in the ad and in my emails it was indicated to me there were multiple units to look at both studios and my actual preference of one bedrooms. I mentioned this to her and her response was oh well we can put you on an interested person wait list if you would like. I explained to her I have no interest in that at all and I am serious about finding a place and any type of wait list is not something someone who is serious about find a place wants anything to do with. She said oh well that's what we can do. I said well it would have been nice if you would have told me all this before I invested my time and resources to coming all the way here and her response was they had been busy today and that it was just an unfortunate oversite. I realizing I was dealing with someone who lacks the mental capacity to understand what I was saying and who was in all likelihood not even listening to a word I was saying just left as dealing with a person like that would just be more of a waste of time. These people are terrible and are miserable failures at what they do. The owner of the property should be embarrassed having these people represent them. Total dumpster fire of an operation and avoid them at all costs.

Live where you want, this has been the last year of my life, when asked to fix they send the inspector away, they use store bought treatments and they haven't fixed my fan in my bathroom for over a year.

If I could give this place no stars I would, it's literally infested with roaches. I swear if you made a hole in the wall a sea of roaches would flow. Their in every appliance, and will invade any electronic you bring in. Try and complain to management and they spray your apt once and then flake every other time. Save your money and find somewhere cleaner.

I figured this place deserves a current review, since many of these predate the current ownership. The mess in the halls, laundry room and notices on the window are correct and possibly current. The photos on the website are more clearly demonstratable if not using a fisheye to expand the space. There are bugs, and some units have more than others. You will not be evicted after 3 days of non-payment of rent, rather the 3rd day if the 3rd month of non-payment of rent per the open eviction notices posted on the doors of the 3 units nearest to us multiple times during our 12 month lease. Yes, LA rent is astronomical, but considering that a tv set, Wi-Fi and utilities are included it's actually fairly competitive for studio living in this zip code. The building and grounds are kept fairly decent for the neighborhood and considering that it's sometimes accessible as low-income housing. They allow pets, charge a single month plus a single deposit to get into a unit. I'm leaving 3 stars because my husband and I were ideal tenants; clean, courteous, conversational and even kept up some of the laundry room if it was bad when we were in there. The building is fairly secure, but many tenants allow everyone to follow them through the gates and doors. My husband and I chased a couple homeless guys out of the laundry once. This neighborhood is kinda known for having quite an issue due to the proximity of SSI, Taco Bell, Dollar Tree and LA county Mental Health in one block. There is only security inside the grounds from 10 pm to 5 am. On site parking is available for an extra 75 dollar monthly fee and it's probably worth it because parking in Hollywood is a nightmare after 6pm. The management in the office seems pretty straightforward and no-nonsense moving in, however most dealings with Rosa and Zach, even simple questions, were met with snappiness, snark and serious attitude. The one time we filed a work order for a problem in our unit, the first appointment went missed and trying to address it with management was only slightly more fun than an unmedicated cavity filling. I assume this in reaction to how rude or unclean most of the tenants can be, but it shouldn't be knee jerk to scream at someone who asks a question about double checking availability to coordinate with a work schedule. Zach has a sassy attitude out of nowhere and does not pass messages onto Rosa or consider scheduling requests as noted in emails. The only time Rosa's attitude was dropped was on my final walkthrough seeing that the apartment was cleaned, totally empty, burned out bulbs replaced and everything left smelling fresh and defrosted as per the lease. It was like night and day for all other interactions I had with her, she was an absolute peach. Upon leaving a voicemail to inquire about possible ship dates for security deposit return, Zach left me a super sassy voicemail, unnecessarily citing legal precedences when a friendly reminder of time frames was all that was needed. They seem to be good company for each other. Everyone else on staff is absolutely pleasant and amazing. Kenny is the nicest guy and deserves a medal for working as hard for these people as he does. He does everything there and is always polite, friendly, accommodating and sweet. He is the most redeeming quality of residency here. Tl;Dr Some units have bugs, some don't, building is secure, pets are allowed, cheap for the neighborhood, other tenants are students or low-income, massive homeless population nearby, management are brats, KENNY THE GOAT!!

Honestly just counting down the months until my lease ends. This place is gross and bug infested. I was made aware of slight bug sightings when I signed my lease due to the area of the complex but they forgot to say they were infested with bugs, ESPECIALLY German cockroaches. I have personally had to spray my place multiple times and set over 5 traps in different areas and I still wake up with bug bites (no bed bugs as it's been checked) and I see at least 10 German roaches a day running around. THEYVE COME OUT OF THE OUTLETS! They claim they treat the property but I'm now finding that hard to believe. And on another note, they only have 40 something private parking spots with over 100 units at least so it's only parallel street parking where one road is no parking monday , another is no parking tuesday and there's always filming happening in the area so sometimes you can't park on a street for multiple days in a row. I have waited 6 hours for parking before after I got off work. If you do happen to get off the waitlist for parking, it's $75 a month! Honestly, I can deal with that but the bugs, no. I feel unsafe, uncomfortable and gross living in what's supposed to be my safe place.

The apartments are pretty nice , you get what you pay for obviously. The only thing I would say I didn't like is that they were offering parking when you looked at their website but when going into the lease office and asking for it you are on a waitlist and it's 40+ people on it . There really isn't parking on the street neither.

I lived here for a little over a year. If I could review it with negative stars I would. They have the singular worst roach infestation I have ever seen. Despite my efforts to constantly set roach bait and kill there were still hundreds of roaches. It was so bad that I would on a daily basis have to clean the newly found roaches out of my microwave. It was fucking ridiculous. To make it clear how bad it was, the first day I moved in I opened a beer and immediately 5 roaches came out of no where an dived straight into my beer...It's so bad I think the only way there getting rid of the roaches is to burn the entire place to the ground.

Well well well, the Infamous apartment complex in the heart or lung area of Hollywood, CA off of the Vine street, better known as Hollywood Off-Vine. I really like this place for students because of it convenience, everything is within walking distance I've been living here for a year and a half now. It's very close to the Metro rail, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Chipotle, Office Depoit, Sunset Blvd, Hollywood blvd, Film School, Recording School, movie theaters, Manny Pacquiao's training gym, if your from out of town there is close by motels for your family if they come visit for a while. I also like that utilities are included, rooms are furnished and each roommate is on his own lease so if they move out, you aren't needing to look for a new roommate, Foresight Management finds you a new one. I pay $600 and my roommate pays $600 for our studio. Its not the best looking or the biggest studio in the world, but its the cheapest and the closest that my school could find for me with out having to find a roommate, or pay utilities, or buy furniture. Also when I moved in they returned my application fee with a $100 gift card, and on my birthday I will be receiving another gift card like every one else who lives here. They also gave me $250.00 for every move-in I recommended. Its a great place to make friends if you are a student and not from LA because a lot of us students who live here are not from LA and do not know many people here. Maintenance and the Office is very helpful, especially Rosa, Kenny, and Cynthia. For the best experience here, be nice to your roommate, live clean, pay your rent on time, keep every receipt, and a little knowledge about tenant rights and laws is always helpful.

The one good thing this place as is the on site management. Kenny, Rosa, and Neta are all VERY helpful and will tackle your problems and issues almost immediately. Everything else, not good. For one, the fact that this place is a trap for students, as they advertise this place as "student housing"..which is cool, except for the fact that for what you pay to live at this mess of a place, you could have a much bigger, and much nicer apartment elsewhere (yes, even in Hollywood). This place is SO overpriced and just suckers in out of town parents and their children who are going to attend a nearby school. I had roaches ever since I moved in. I finally had to break my lease because I couldn't deal with it any longer. My apartment was absolutely infested..my bathroom being the worst. I'm a very clean person...my apartment was very very neat and tidy. I became paranoid of the roaches, so I refused to store food or even eat in my apartment. It was THAT bad.. The tenants who live there are trashy wastes of life for the most part...students who are obviously going nowhere in life and might as well just give up all together. They're loud at night, partying and singing obviously just to be obnoxious since they have nothing productive to do. Others will stand on a staircase smoking cigarettes and drinking and spitting on people's cars..like mine. One of them being a trashy kid from Georgia, you'll hear his terrible accent and want to kill yourself. If you see spit, ash, and random drinks spilled on your car, it was probably from him and his crew of ugly wastes of humanity. Point being, look somewhere else. There's way better places in Hollywood to live, that are much safer and more affordable.

Bed bugs! Run for your life! Management sucks! Affordable, but I'd rather pay for comfort! Oh roaches will come crawling out also!

Ive lived here for 4 years now and i have to say that it gets better and better each year! They are remodeling and making improvements constantly which is good! Rosa at the leasing office is GREAT and so is Kenny the manager! Friendly people and great environment. The apt is walking distance to Sunset Blvd and Hollywood Blvd where you can find good restaurants, movie theaters, night life, but at the same time you dont feel like you are in the middle of all the noise. The studio apts are fairly priced and the good thing is water and electricity are included in the rent. :) I love living here!

Hi there. I lived here for about 2 years. The location is great! Walking distance to the walk of fame but far enough from the loud music from the clubs. Conveniently located with easy access to shopping and groceries. They renovated the whole place with really nice finishes and above all, it was really affordable for a student like me. I had a studio unit which is big enough for myself. I had a gas stove a mini fridge and a decent kitchen sink good enough if you like cooking. Although you have to pay extra for parking if you choose an indoor gated spot, you can always choose to park on the side street which is plentiful all the time. Rosa the property manager is the best! She's awesome. She has a very friendly and professional demeanor. Whenever I have questions, she responds timely and if I need anything, she's always very helpful. I never really had to call her much because she responds right away to my emails which for me is better because I like stuff documented. Kenny the property handyman is super nice too. He get things done real fast and he's always around so that was really cool. I'll give this place Thank you. -Leo

Really wish I could give negative stars. This place is disgusting. I booked an AirBnb here and immediately left after checking in. Cockroaches were everywhere! I'm literally cringing writing this review. If you love roaches, then have fun here.

I had an appointment to look at a studio apartment here and no one showed up. I had to ask people leaving the building if they could show me where the leasing office or manager lived and knocked on their door and no answer. Waisted several hours waiting around. I think it was a blessing they blew me off because I could already tell it looked nothing like the photos on the hotpads app also Every turn in the halls of the building I saw many, many, rocahes! Red flag! For $1225 I will just stay where I currently live in Hollywood. Yikes!

Great location! Good restaurants, stores and theaters around. The train station is very close. The staff is very kind, specially Rosa and Keny. The 2 years that I lived here were nice. Good place to start your journey in LA!

I lived here for 3 1/2 years in a studio apartment. Great location, friendly staff, and utilities included. Recommended to anyone starting out in Los Angeles.

Do me a big big big favorite, save yourself from moving in here!!!! 1. If you don't pay your rent on time, you will get evicted after 3 days. 2. Even if your lease is over, planning to move out? You must notify them in 30 days, even after your lease is over, you must pay even if you don't live there anymore!!! That's call stealing. 3. Love loud noises? Love sleeping with bugs? I totally recommend this place. 4. Love waking up to loud noises early in morning, be my guess. 5. If you enjoy non-circulated air, good look breathing, if is super unhealthy for your lung. 6. It is super small for the price you are paying (from what I heard, the price went up for the same quality, bullshit) Even if you are a student, depressed for a place, please, it is not worth it. No star in my opinion. I was forced to drop a star.

Well i must admit....I am desperately looking for a bigger place for the 525 that i pay a month. I'm currently living in a dorm room right now with a roomate. (small fridge, no stove, no bedroom) The internet is slow, but dependable, i have no landline, and yes we had a roach problem. However, I got a can of raid, traps and some poison and took care of the issue myself...(them bastards was goin in my fridge, they had to die) This place is not for the complainer. Its definitely for students and those transitioning into adulthood. If this isn't you, don't even worry with it. You cant beat the service though. The maintenance and the office people do their best to make sure stuff gets fixed quickly. The apartment i'm in came fully furnished, its clean, and the utilities are included. To be honest i'm quite comfortable here and will probably stay until i can find something bigger for the same price.

I don't even live there and I can honestly say it's not the place. My friends do, and they're so unhappy. They're finally moving out, and they couldn't be more excited. Its not for students. They overcharge the students, and let the family tenants pay less. The hallway smells a lil pissy. The apartments are way too small for what they charge. They have potential, but they really need to step their game up.

This place is an abomination for the ages. When I first moved to LA I was told that this place was "mostly student housing." They say mostly because slightly less than half of the residents are lower income residents and some have a tendency to dumpster dive to pay for their rent. Along with bottles and cans they bring in, roaches follow. We were constantly overrun with roaches despite my clean lifestyle. Eventually they migrated into my microwave and set up camp. Another lovely place they hung out was the crevices of the seal around my fridge. The worst part was that they even offered fumigation services but it would have required us to pack everything in our entire apartment (kitchen, bathroom, closet etc.) place it in the middle of the room and then move the furniture 5 feet away from the walls. As a student I don't have time to move all my stuff especially if not moving out plus I need to put everything from the "pile" in the middle of the room back where it was since space is very scarce. When it wasn't the roaches it was our loud neighbors who insisted on playing all their music as loud as they could until 2:30am. You might think this is an exaggeration but it was literally 3-4 times a week every week. The police were called no less than 3 times. My girlfriend was on a first name basis with the local dispatcher. Likewise these same tenants who showed no signs of courtesy also smoked in the halls which filled up the building. Even with my door closed it made its way into my room. It was also swell when entering the apartment people constantly tossed their cigarettes out of the window from inside on the second floor which land on or next to me on several occasions. When we confronted the management about it we were told that "no one else is complaining." This tells me two things. 1) that when people have a family of 5 living in a 300 sq ft studio apartment then tend not to stand up and complain for fear of being evicted and 2) that the management didn't really care if someone has a complaint. I also wasn't thrilled with the fact that since these families had children and since we lived in a pretty crappy neighborhood the hallways and stairs became their backyard/playground. Unsupervised children ran into me all the time. The supervised children were no better since their parents couldn't have cared less. There was also the girl who owned the jump rope. **THUD THUD THUD** was the theme song of the early afternoon. Power was another concern. We lost power in our apartment all the time. I made sure of what devices were going to which circuits and monitored the power levels I was using constantly. What's worse is while we had a 4-circuit circuit breaker in our apartment it never tripped. The circuit to our entire studio tripped on the box outside of the apartment building and we would have to call maintenance and hoped they'd be around. I eventually determined that I wasn't doing anything wrong power wise and when I complained to maintenance I was told "the wires are probably crossed" and nothing else. We also had a single light and fan in the middle of the apartment. It came with a remote. It sounds cool in theory but everyone on the floor had one and several remotes on the floor were set to the same frequency. This means that your light and fan would turn off and on and random times when other people pressed their remotes. Again I asked if this could be fixed but I was told "the whole fan would need to be replaced" and again nothing else. No solutions, just excuses. Rent was over priced and they charged an additional 125 for parking in a lot where people constantly jumped over the gate. Our security guards were a joke. We often caught them on their phones instead of patrolling or hanging out at the loud party apartments. Management was very unprofessional. No one really took our complaints seriously since most of us were treated like children. It was clear that those from the management who lived elsewhere would never live like this and the ones that did live there were so used to living in such vile conditions that they didn't see anything wrong to begin with. After spending more than a year here I saved myself anymore drama and left as soon as my lease was up. Between the terrible buildings and sketchy neighborhood I have no reason to ever go near that building ever again and I'm all the better for it.

This place looks nothing like what the website advertises. Its a trap for out of town students, (like myself) and its WAY over priced. Neta Amir, the housing manager at the time of my move in, is very rude and inconsiderate to people, one person even claims she said something along the lines of "Asian people being stupid," so she seems very discriminatory. I pay 600 dollars a month, which includes utilities, but the internet here is garbage, (It maxes out at 256 kb/s, really?) There are roaches everywhere, no matter who much you clean. Neta was replaced by a woman named Cynthia, who is like a breath of fresh air, and Rosa and Kenny are really helpful too. This place is conveniently located in Hollywood, but thats about the only good thing. All in all, I would have lived somewhere else if I could.

Why does no one pick up the phone in the front desk here? I have been trying to call now for 4/5days! If someone could provide me with the best number that would be great! Cheers, C

HORRIFIC! This place is like something from hell. The literally scam you off your money. They charged my flatmate $50 too much for A YEAR, and she never got her money back. They also cheated her on $20 too much on her car permit EVERY MONTH FOR A YEAR. As for me, they DENIED ME MY $800 DEPOSIT BACK WITH NO GROUNDS. And as I live in England, when I moved out there was no way for me to stay and argue about the deposit as that would have made me miss my flight. Overall, they're really sketchy and WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE. They gossip like hell about other residents and are straight out RUDE. I would pay more rent someplace else in a heartbeat, because in the end - that probably would have saved me money. WORST PLACE I CAN THINK OF ON EARTH. TERRIBLE.

Hollywood Off Vine Housing it is what it says. Great location for students everything is near that need. Groceries restraunts and atractions all walking distance. For being a student here @ HOV is a great place to live. The crew is amazing!! They are a hard dedicated team. They always do there best on the job with maintanence. I rated this 4 stars cuz its a great place to live and its what a student needs.

I was looking for a an apt for my son who will be attending a school nearby. Unfortunately, there wasn't much of a choice for the value and location. We ended up choosing this complex because it was the best choice of the bad choices!! Its not going to be forever so he will suck it up and stay. Its a small apt with 2 people sharing but they are supposed to be studying and not partying anyways! Rosa and Kenny are the only reason we also chose this place as they are the best at what they do! The bad thing was that when we were moving him in, I opened 2 drawers in the kitchen and there were cockroaches! He has been spraying a lot and has not seen them in a while. But overall for the location, price, value and Rosa and Kenny it was the best decision. We will see in a year when he is up for renewal if we stay.

This is the best place I've lived in since I moved to California. The apartment is completely renovated. The people are very nice and they always accommodate my requests. Nice area with easy access to a lot places and on top of that great the rent is very affordable. This is my second year here and I love this place.

I still live here and love it!! I am not sure why these negative reviews are posted or coming from!! My experience dealing with the staff and maintenance crew has been nothing but amazing! The staff is always helpful and sweet. The maintenance grew always fixes whatever is brought to their attention immediately. Being in hollywood sure does help, I love this place!

I have lived here comfortably for 3 years now and have enjoyed many great things about this apartment. The convenience of walking to Sunset and Vine where I have access to Walgreens, Arclight Movie Theater, Trader Joe's and many awesome restaurants is a big plus. Management here is great too. Rosa and Kenny have been extremely helpful since I first moved in. One of Kenny's workers once went out of his way to change all of the lightbulbs in my room. Another time, my A/C was switched out and installed by Kenny in less than 24 hours after I told him it broke. Also, there is a security guard patrolling the building all night which is nice. This is a great place to live and would recommend it to anyone looking for an apartment in Hollywood.

THE HEART OF HOLLYWOOD I've been living in these apartments for some time now. Almost 7 years! Woah, time flies. And my experience has been great. If you're looking for something like a home base to the wide web of Los Angeles you can't get much better than the location here at Off-Vine. The convenience here is unparalleled in my opinion. Pavilions supermarket is open 24/7 down the street. Rite Aid and Walgreens just 5 or six blocks North. As well as any major bank. As well as Trader Joes if you're feeling especially healthful. There are great spots to eat. There are great places to go clubbing. There's your selection of 3 gyms. ALL within a 1-mile radius. (I actually looked it up on google maps) And it really is the center of Hollywood, just up the street is the Hollywood walk of fame. Walking amongst the stars really is the norm out here. As for the apartment itself. It is what you make of it. Nothing special, nothing fancy. But it's a nice blank slate for you to do what you want. Especially if you don't own a lot to your name. The spaces come fully furnished already. With a TV, an air-conditioning and heating unit. Free wi-fi, a bed, a closet. A fridge and a kitchenette at the very minimum. Depending on your room. But it's enough. It's everything you need essentially. And you can spend your money on what matters- A better internet provider- free wi-fi works great, as long as no-one else is using it in the building at the same time. Consider this apartment your LA starter kit for you to get going. Highly recommend checking it out at the very LEAST. Rosa at the desk is a big sweetheart. I've come to adore her. Don't talk to her for too long though, she might put you to work. ;) All in all, I recommend these apartments to people just getting to the city. For actors or actresses that don't have means of their own transportation and need to have access to the city's many audition locations. It's a central hub like none other.

I've been living here for 2 years now... Rosa has been the most wonderful manager I've ever dealt with- i even have 3 other friends that moved into a studio thanks to her kind and gracious work ethic. She truly cares about all the tenants and really makes this place feel like home. Also Kenny has been the most awesome at maintance - really recommended moving here, it's very clean, peaceful and quiet. I would give it a million stars if I could!

I had an amazing stay ,the atmosphere was incredible . The management team was amazing , they were there for everything I needed , the woman in the office was super friends and caring her name was Rosa , she was courteous and made me feel at home

If you like cockroach infested apartments, harassing security guards, terrible management, and overpriced studios in the most "ghetto" part of hollywood; then this is the place for you. I had the very unfortunate opportunity to live there for a year. the los angeles film/recording school makes it sound like it's the only place to go; since they have a contract with the hell whole they call hollywood off vine. their are people defecating, having intercourse, and doing various drugs in the halls, not to mention homeless that sometimes get in to sleep in the halls. these are all problems they've been "taking care" of since i moved in in 2011.. to show no progress. my friend lived under a crackhead who would pee out his window and throw empty 40oz beers. They tell you it is a friendly environment but as soon as you walk outside to have a nice quiet get together with a bbq and some friends on the patio they tell you that you have to disperse because no get togethers of any kind are accepted. you cannot even smoke a cigarette by yourself outside at night without being harassed by the security guard that you are making too much noise and can not be outside...yet other much more important things need to be tended to in the building that are going unnoticed. the security seems to never do their job; except harass people smoking cigarettes. they were just walking around leisurely and would walk the opposite way of any robbery or danger that is going on and act like they didn't see it. I am a white male and would get racial comments thrown at me by the African guards. not to mention the people in the "front office" who are way under-qualified and lack alot of education. they are very disorganized. and they will bring problems up to me months later thinking that they just happened days ago. and if you try to explain yourself they will give you attitude back. The roach problem is unbelievable. i had a very clean apartment yet cockroaches are always around. the building is infested with bed bugs along with roaches. and there is no stoppin the work of cockroaches making their homes in these walls for over 60 years. ..and thats what the management told me after living there a few months. i tried fighting the roaches for months but gave up after i couldnt get the roaches and the roach larva out of my frig.. and just stopped keeping anything in my frig at all. Dont fall for the bull s*** lies the people in the front office try to tell you. this is a TRAP for out-of town parents to sign their kid's lease to live there, cause they have no time to look, and the school tells them to. you can get an apartment in hollywood for the same price, but not infested with roaches, and bigger, for the same price. i figured that out a few months after i moved in. all in all AVOID THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX AT ALL RISKS!! VERY IMPORTANT TO DO SO. This place needs to be put out of business. there are no "pros" to this list of cons.. the only positive thing to this complex is the site manager, Kenny, who is a great guy. and very helpful. I praised the day i left.

I was looking for a place to rent and came across this building complex. I called in and was greeted by Ms. Danielle. She informed me that I could come and look at the apartment at a scheduled time which I did. I took my kid with me, because after all we would both be living in the apartment. My mother would occasionally be staying with us due to the fact she cares for my kid when I'm at work. Ms. Danielle was rude, disrespectful and I'm sorry to say very unprofessional. We got a glimpse of not only her horrible behavior but her body parts which were exposed to the public. She changed her story, informing me that there was no apartment available, which 10 minutes ago there was. It was very upsetting. I felt she wasn't telling me the truth and was rejecting my very good application (I have excellent credit and a good job) because she was discriminating my child (which is against the law). I called the housing department and handed them my application they stated any building would be happy to have me, I had a friend call the office. Ms. Danielle answered and made an appointment to show the apartment that had miraculously become available again. He went to the building and stated he couldn't keep a straight face, he could see Ms. Danielle's "soul" if you don;t understand I'll explain: she wasn't dressed properly for work and he was able to see what he didn't want to see from her. That didn't stop Ms. Danielle from flirting and being very inappropriate with him. She showed him the apartment and a "tour" of the building stating she lived in that building (she took him thru the property). She said they could be neighbors and went off stating personal issues with the building, neighbors, office staff and her boss. He left stating he would fill the application. In the beginning I was upset for the treatment I received with my kid, but now I'm glad I didn't apply there. Contrary to the posts here the building seems well kept and the other office staff was very nice and helpful. I don;t want to be in a place where my child is discriminated. I also don;t want to be in a place where I have to explain to my child what a woman of service is and why she is working in the office. I get that everyone should dress the way they want, but in a work place everyone should be dressed accordingly to standards. I hope Ms. Danielle the best, I'm sure she has other potentials, but treating people differently because of different gender isn't going to help the building or herself

This place is a rip-off!!! They threaten to evict you after you are three days late with rent, with no grace periods. They force parents to co-sign and then never ask them for the rent before starting their eviction procedures. My son moved out due to robberies that occured 4 times in a two week period. These kids have $2300.00 computer systems that they get with their tuition to attend the LA Music and Recording School and one of my son's friends had his lap-top and cell phone stolen. A few days later a kid who doesn't even live there was arrested for having stolen property and trading it off to the students that do live there. As soon as he was out of jail, he was back staying at the "security gated" apartments, if you can even call them that. It should be illegal to have 2 people stay in the size of these places. Don't be fooled by the pictures.......VERY deceiving! Management does nothing about the robberies, probably because they are in on them, since one of the managers/administrators (Rosa) lives there herself and her husband (Kenny) who does the "maintenenace". My opinon....he does more than maitenenace..........and probably sells it to make a profit since they can't be paid much to run that rat-hole. My son had a gas leak for two months and they never did anything about it. He also had roaches and the place was digusting. He had $10k worth of recording equipment and I moved him out because he couldn't afford to have it stolen. They are very unprofessional and dirty. STAY AWAY unless you want to be taken for a big ride. Needless to say we broke our lease 3 months early......keep the deposit...you need it more than I do!

ohh and now the rent has gone up and the quality has stayed the same. and by quality im talking about cockroach infested rooms and getting woke up every morning at 7 am by the loud workers and the other tenants that blast music. security here is a joke. cant wait to leave this shit hole!! fuck this now im sharing a studio for 1500 a month and i cant even fit a damn office chair these rooms are so compact and small. i hate living here and i cant wait to leave. if this place burned to the ground i would be happy to say the least...

The location and the price are the only things good about this facility. I just moved in in May and the location is what I love. The price is what got me. The included utilities is what makes it more tolerable . Yes the price and the included utilities are quite competitive but it's a roach motel. They have an infestation and when you're looking at the unit they will swear that it's dirty tenants or people with pets. That is not the case at all. I clean multiple times a day. I'm a germaphobe for Christ sake. And I still have roaches all over all the time. They use Terminix when you complain. However due to using the same chemicals over and over the roaches become immune to the treatments and that's why they don't die and keep coming back. Heck I open my door and there are roaches in the doorway. There are roaches coming out of the baseboards. There are roaches coming out of the floorboard in the entrance doorway. It's embarrassing to even invite guests over. The tenants leave open trash bags out in the hallway practically inviting insects to come stay awhile and kick their shoes off. And don't get me started on the tenants who airbnb their units. You literally never know who your neighbor is on a day to day basis. As the past few months have progressed clean grounds have gotten messier every day. I don't know if it's the homeless or the tenants or a combo of both but when I moved in the grounds were clean and inviting. Now on any given day you can find trash all over the front. Kenny is the only redeeming quality of the building. He helps as much as he can with anything. Alex is a gem and while I can respect his loyalty to a place where he gets his paycheck he was not forthcoming about the insect problem at all. This place is also next door to one of the nastiest complexes I've ever smelled. Towards LaMirada there is a complex that smells from the inside out and houses homeless inside the gates and trash from food to dirty mattresses to broken toilets on the sidewalk. Also beware the year long parking space wait. You'll get to know the neighborhood best by having to park multiple blocks away and trekking back home. And just another FYI those pictures are lie. The units range from 196 sq ft, 219 sq ft and the rare over 300. There are only a few units with a balcony and they aren't budging so don't get excited. Unless they lose their jobs or overdose those people aren't giving those units up. Any besides...they probably have roaches all over as well.

This place is a terrible rip-off. Hardly a safe environment, and other tenants are pretty disrespectful. Large roach problem, and I've never met anyone who didn't despise their decision to live there.

Please... Please do not move here. I lived here for almost 2 years paying $1,100 for a square apartment studio. The air conditioning that comes built in the unit is terrible and you'll literally have to sleep next to it on cold nights when it get's really chilly. Also, it's roach infested! They had to have me clear out my apartment one weekend because they were gonna have Dewey Pest spray the place. Even after they sprayed... I was squashing roaches on the regular. Also.. On my way to my apartment I was held at gunpoint by a jackass who decided he wanted to take my phone. It was a hit-n-run but nevertheless it was one of the most frightening moments of my life. The management is terrible and super unprofessional. It's a mexican lady and her husband and it's just super ghetto. Whenever something breaks in your apartment, they'll make you pay for it regardless of what story you provide for them. It's ridiculous. Don't live here you'll feel claustrophobic and paranoid when your walking around at night.

This place is an incredible rip off!!!! If you are thinking about moving to Hollywood and stumbled upon this place, take my word for it and look elsewhere. What they charge is absolutely absurd! I'm paying $50 less per month now for an Apartment 3 times the size of the sorry excuse for a room I had at this complex. A few of the other tenants were to say the least questionable characters. Oh, and it's hardly housing just for students. There were a lot of tenants who were grandfathered in there and are very disrespectful. There were a few robberies on the premises while I lived there, and the majority of the time it was by people who didn't live at the complex. There are always people being extremely loud at really late hours (2am-6am). And security was a joke. I saw the security guards walking to Taco Bell a lot and actually encouraging unacceptable behavior by other tenants/friends. The one bright spot was the management, if you had a problem they took care of it as soon as they could. But all in all, don't waste your money. I haven't met anyone who lived there who doesn't regret it.
