Lived in LA for four years and at Mikado Apartments for a little under a year in 2022-2023. I have nothing but glowing things to say about the building, the area, and especially the management.
I toured dozens of places during my apartment hunt and this was far and away the best value. From the second I toured the place, it felt like a no brainer: You have air conditioning, laundry on-site, off-street parking (massive benefit in Hollywood), access to a private swimming pool, high vaulted
...ceilings which make the units feel super spacious, and you're a short walk away from some of Hollywood's biggest attractions (Literally right across the street from the Hollywood Bowl!)
But even with that in mind, the building was QUIET. Incredibly so for Los Angeles, but especially so for Hollywood. The building is like an oasis. The neighbors are all friendly, quiet, and respectful, but it also feels like a community.
I also never saw a single pest in my unit during my time there, I never had any issues with the utilities, and the owner and owners/management are genuinely lovely people. This is not a building that is owned by some massive portfolio company who neglect their tenants and treat you like a number. This building is a family operation, and they clearly take immense pride in keeping the building well-maintained and taking good care of their tenants. They are always reachable and responsive, and even when I had to break my lease early, they went out of their way to accommodate me and help me out.
Truth be told, I was incredibly sad to have to leave this building, but I lived there during a slow time for the entertainment business and work took me elsewhere. It genuinely felt like a home, and if given the opportunity I would move back in a heartbeat.
