I was on the 1st floor so I can't say how it was for the apartments above me but my place was noisy. There was a parking lot below me & sporadic noises from the plumbing, sometimes I thought someone was knocking on my door. There's also a bar/club across the street that gets loud & that's no fault of the complex. I thought there was a security safe in my room per the wording I saw when I booked the place but I guess they were saying the place was safe. My sliding glass door to my patio did not lock & it worried me sometimes, I did alert the hostess that greeted us when we arrived but there wasn't much that could be done. There is 24 hr security/door man @ the entrance but from my patio if someone wanted to jump from the building next door it could be done. Nothing ever happened though & I had to be creative of where I hid extra $ that I brought with me. They should put a pipe on the rail for the sliding door if the lock doesn't work, I've done this with my own sliding glass door at home as an extra precaution. In all because I live on a busy street in Los Angeles the noise wasn't a deal breaker for me. I really liked having the kitchen & some basic's stocked for me, sugar, salt, etc.. The fridge came in handy since I was there for 10 days & I'm on medication so I have to eat something with my meds & I was able to run down the street to a market that was probably less than a 10 min walk & stock my fridge. The washer/dryer came in handy as did the iron. I would stay here again.
