DO NOT MOVE HERE! THEY DON'T PAY BACK SECURITY DEPOSITS UNLESS YOU HIRE A LAWYER!…read moreI moved out 3 months ago and barely got my security deposit back because I contacted an attorney for help after this company ignored several calls, voicemails, and emails. Be warned! Besides that, the ELEVATOR CALL BUTTON DOESN'T WORK and instead of fixing it they lie and say neither guests nor deliveries are allowed upstairs. This was not the case when I moved in, and no other building I've lived in doesn't allow me to buzz up a guest or delivery that has a call box. LADIES BEWARE! I thought the building manager was just being friendly when he asked me to eat meals and gave me his personal number but he looked upset when he saw me going on a date with someone else. And after that my maintenance requests started taking a way longer time to be responded. From an average of a couple of days to no less than a couple of weeks. I also once heard someone trying to come into my apartment with a key but a noise from my tv scared them away and I immediately stood to check my peephole where I saw the building manager walking away from my door alone. There was no notice given or pending maintenance request that would warrant him coming to my place so I was very creeped out. When I confronted him with our building security guard he blamed it on a maintenance worker that he "stopped from entering the wrong apartment" and since there are no cameras in the halls we had to take his word for it. (Even though I saw him walking away completely alone through the peephole and didn't see/hear him talking to anyone. Also every time maintenance had come in the past and since, they knock and wait before attempting to enter.) This building has done a few other shitty things in obvious efforts to maximize their profits and it's always at the expense of the tenant living experience. Just take your business elsewhere because you're definitely just a unit number here.

I recently moved to Los Angeles and have been apartment hunting. I toured several places in the…read moreKTOWN/DTLA area, and Diana and JP at Hallasan were the most professional leasing agents I've met so far. I scheduled the tour online, and they even sent me floor plans and videos of the units I was interested in ahead of time. During the tour, they were extremely kind, patient, and took the time to explain everything in detail. The moment I walked into the lobby, I loved the resort-like atmosphere. Since the building is newly built, the design is beautiful, and the amenities are excellent especially the security system. I can't access other floors by elevator without permission, which made it feel very secure. Most of all, the rooftop was truly impressive

Gladys is everything you'd hope for in an apartment manager -- responsive, kind, and consistently dependable. She's always on top of communication, updates, and any changes happening around the building. Whenever we had a question or needed assistance, she handled it quickly and professionally. Marcel is equally exceptional. He's proactive, efficient, and truly cares about the residents. Any maintenance request was handled right away, and even when I accidentally locked myself out (a couple of times), he and Gladys were quick to respond -- even on weekends. Their dedication and reliability made living here incredibly smooth. You can tell they both take pride in their work and genuinely care about creating a comfortable, well-maintained community. I'm genuinely grateful for their support and professionalism throughout our stay -- they're the reason this property runs so well. Highly recommend this complex to anyone looking for a place managed by people who truly care.

I recently moved out from The Met after having lived here for 2 years and 2 managements. Overall, I…read morewas a happy resident and I feel like the place has improved a lot with the new management (maybe bc they now have to compete with so many dtla luxury apts lol). The building itself is old so they've renovated a lot of the units which it's both good and bad for residents/future tenants since that means higher living quality but the rent keeps going up (biggest downside!) But the rent hike is no news for dtla or even California housing so I guess we can't really blame them.. I waited until everything was done to write my review- the amount of security deposit we got back was disappointing but mostly reasonable and clear, in case anyone wonders about this. Overall, If you work/ go to school in dtla, worth considering! The specifics: Security/Safety- A+ Yes I have seen homeless people walking around and nearby the building. However, that's just what you get living in downtown. Personally I've never felt unsafe living here and I appreciate how the building is always bright and most of time, there's always a front desk security there. I have also seen the security coming outside to help residents out. I worked night shifts most of the time I lived there and would frequently come home at 3-4AM so safety was big for me. Location- A+ The apt is at a convenient location with Staples around the corner, lots restaurants/bars nearby, and easy rideshares and food delivery services access. Wholefoods is within walkable distance and 24/7 Ralphs is across the street. Starbucks and Panini Kabob Grill (recommend!) are both downstairs of the building. Fitness- A+ There is a small gym inside the apt. Within walking distance, there are also lots fitness places to go to, including Corepower yoga (a block away), Pure barre (about 4 blocks away), Gold gym and LA fitness (about 3 blocks away). A little further out, there are other yoga studios, 24 hour fitness, Crossfit, etc. Parking- A Parking is an additional $100 (more if you chose premium parking spot) per car. It's pricey but standard price for dtla so I have no complaint. I do want to bring up that when I first moved in, I had seen people parking at our resident only garage and then leaving (and yes I verified that they didnt live there). It did make me feel unsafe knowing that the parking lot was being shared by non-residents in the beginning but I haven't seen that happened for 1+ year. If this is a concern of yours, you should ask. Other than this and the one time someone parked at my spot when they went party'ing, parking had been smooth here. Guest parking- used to be a BIG F but now an A Like what one other reviewer said, there used to be only 10 guest parking spots for the whole entire building!! Yes, ten for like how many residents?! It used to drive me crazy and no one would want to come visit lol. Other residents were getting frustrated and angry too. However, in mid 2019, they added about 20 more spots for after hours (nights and weekends) and things got a lot better. The guest spots do fill up but not as crazy as before and it's been so much easier to have guests over. Front desk/ office staff/ maintenance/ packages- Friendly front desk staff! There used to be a time when they didn't have consistent staff at the front which was frustrating but it got better. The leasing office staff was really nice too and so was the maintenance crew. They were always very helpful and prompt. Packages got delivered to the front desk or the Amazon HUB that they installed some time in 2018/ early 2019. Parking garage elevators- It's really slow and I cannot tell you how many times the parking garage elevators broke down the two years I lived there (to a point that I've gotten so good at going straight to the stairs as soon as I saw a sign by the elevator lol). Not a deal breaker for me though! Laundry- new smart laundry machines installed in Mid 2019. Kind of pricey but I'm grateful to not having to collect quarters lol. Amenities- Pool, spa, grill, pool table, and poker table. It's great that there are pool and spa on site and I loved going to the pool and spa in the summer but I feel like they should def be cleaned more often. I've never used the grill by the pool area so I can't really comment on that, but yes I have seen roaches in the yard. Good thing is i've never seen them inside the building so that's def comforting lol. Common areas are first come first serve. There are often holiday events and food trucks coming to the building once a month, which are nice. Friendly neighbors :)

STOA might look great at first. The building is fairly new and has cool amenities like a rooftop…read moreand a gym. But actually living here has been a constant headache. Security is a major problem. Homeless people regularly get into the building, go through the trash, sleep in stairwells, and sometimes act aggressively toward residents. Cars have been broken into multiple times. We are told to call an after hours security line, but they either do not answer or say no one is available. It makes many of us feel unsafe. Packages are often stolen from outside apartment doors and the mail room. The rooftop and trash rooms are dirty, and trash is not handled properly. There are frequent water and gas shut offs, sometimes with barely any notice, yet we still pay very high utility fees. Management is slow to respond and often sends copy and paste replies instead of actually fixing problems. Broken gates and doors can stay unfixed for months. On top of that, short term rentals like Airbnb have brought loud parties and more damage to common areas. The rent is extremely expensive for how many issues there are. If you are thinking about moving here, I would seriously reconsider.
