I've lived here almost two years and overall I've had very few negative things to mention about the…read moreTalmadge. The Talmadge is a historic apartment building right at the corner of Wilshire and Berendo. From my upper floor window I can see down Wilshire Blvd, the Griffith Observatory, and Hollywood. Service here is pretty good. The 3-4 door guys are all really nice (24 hours a day). They have never lost one single item of mail, and I get a ton of packages so you don't have to worry about being home when FedEX/UPS/USPS come here to deliver your mail. The Talmadge has all different sized apartments. I live in a 5 bedroom apartment. Two of the rooms have their own bathroom, and then 3 of us share the 3rd bathroom. Also, note one room is technically like a dining room converted into a room, but it's very spacious. Our monthly rent is $3,999.00 + $125 for gas = $4,078 a month. That's split (unevenly) 5 different ways so it's really one of the cheapest places to live in LA. Here are some positives about the building: *TWO blocks from the Vermont/Wilshire Metro Station *LOTS of bars/restaurants that you can walk to. I'm looking at you, Line, Brass Monkey, R Bar, Palm Tree LA, S Bar, Da Sung Sa... *There is a courtyard where you can relax, and there's even a grill that you can borrow for a cook out. Some people reserve this on weekends for parties. *Residents are super friendly. As of this writing most people that live here are over 30 and/or have a family. *There is a trash chute that is in between apartments buildings so that you can get rid of your trash easily. *You can put an air conditioner in your window. *The walls here are super thick. We blast, and I mean blast music, and have never had a complaint. Also, I've never heard the people next to us, below us, or above us. *Although there is now a sign prohibiting going to the rooftop...you should just ignore it. The views from the rooftop at night are beyond breath taking. You can see all of downtown. It's really a shame that the Talmadge hasn't put money into the roof to add a fire pit and seating like at the newer buildings that you can see from the rooftop around us. Now onto some of the bad things: *It took SIX MONTHS to fix the laundry room. The laundry room consists of 4 washers and 4 dryers for all of the residents to share. Laundry costs $1.50 and the dryer costs $1.25. *The work out room is a joke. The treadmill has been broken the entire time I've lived here. Therefore there is no working treadmill. There are some dumbbells and machines, but it's small and bad. Plus you have to "check" out the key to get in there and it's a bit of a hassle. There's a stationary bike and an elliptical, but that's about it. *It is $125 a month to park your car at the building. It is a valet type service where they will bring your car up to the street level when you're ready to leave.... Or you can park across the street for $85 a month and go get your car yourself. *Dust here is awful. I don't know if it's an LA thing, but my room is forever dusty. *The water gets shut off about every other week from a 9-5 period. This can be problematic you know if you forget that it's a day when they shut off the water. *There are constant film crews here. They will overtake the lobby of the building and the parking surrounding the building. This also means that they overtake the elevator. This annoys some residents, but it doesn't bother me much as I always make a point to go eat their free food in exchange for them hogging the elevator. *The maintenance guy is super nice, and I really don't ever know if it's his fault or he's too busy, but he isn't exactly on demand. You might be waiting a while for repairs. Luckily we haven't had too many things break, other than our door, and he repainted our bathroom. *If you get cold, you CANNOT control the heat. Some staff member at the building turns the heat on and off for EVERYONE (however, our apartment does have a working fireplace although I've never turned it on) After reading about plenty of other horror stories at apartment complexes I'm pretty satisfied with the Talmadge. Every apartment building has pluses and minuses, but luckily no deal breakers yet. Also of note, my rent has NOT increased in 2 years.

After touring the building, I wanted to lease ASAP. I was going to sign a 16 month lease (2 months free) During the application process, I had to pay a $400 nonrefundable holding fee and $50 application fee to save my unit and then they have to check on my recent taxes , last 3-6 months of bank statements, and email my current building for my rental history verification. Also, if you have an emotional support animal, you do have to provide a letter from your doctor who issued ur fur baby as an ESA animal. It's very strict. This process took about 5-7 days. I'm just sharing you guys my experience with Qwil Apartments. Hopefully, I can save u guys some time and money if you are not willing to pay double the deposit if your rental history verification isn't perfect. Awesome building though.

This building is brand spanking new and pretty much central to everything. The building definitely stands out from all the others in the area. Love being one of the first people to live in a brand new unit that nobody's ever lived in before. I've rented from this company in the past Frost Chaddock. They are super on top of things and really go out of their way to make sure you are happy. Their model on the penthouse level is made of glass floor to ceiling and overlooks paramount studios, the Hollywood sign, Griffith, and some downtown views. I love our unit!!!! They went all out on appliances, they put a lot of thought on the fixtures. Definitely went all out on Amenities. There's not a lot of traffic on Wilton at night so I get great sleep. They also are dog friendly and have a dog run called the pupper club lol that runs the entire side of the building which my dog is obsessed with. If you are looking for a new place definitely add this place on your list to check out. I Highly recommend!

Updated Review I'm…read morewriting an updated review for the building I live in, and I want to be fair, honest, and detailed. About the Morning Cart Situation Someone recently complained about a person coming to their door early in the morning asking for the cart. The carts are meant to be shared by all tenants -- once you're finished, you're supposed to bring it right back downstairs. It's not meant to be taken up to your apartment, loaded with your personal items, and returned whenever you feel like it. That's just basic courtesy in a shared building. Mishaps Happen -- What Matters Is How Management Responds In any apartment building, things will happen. That's just life. What truly matters is whether management is proactive and actually works to resolve issues -- and The Avenue does. Every time something has come up, they've addressed it. Past Issues With Dogs There was a time when some tenants thought they were above the house rules and let their dogs roam freely. That was unsafe and unfair to everyone else. Management stepped in and handled it, and that problem is no longer happening. ‍ Leasing Office - Tom Deserves Recognition We are extremely lucky to have Tom in the leasing office. He is always proactive, helpful, and genuinely cares about the residents. He's one of the reasons this building runs as smoothly as it does. Security & Nighttime Concierge They replaced the old security with nighttime concierge, and I couldn't be happier. These guards are skilled, alert, and proactive. They make the building feel safe, and that peace of mind is priceless. Pool Noise - Resolved Years ago, the pool area brought a lot of unnecessary noise, especially after hours. A nighttime concierge at the time contributed to that problem. Management handled it professionally, and that employee is no longer here. Again -- they were proactive. Pest Control - A Huge Priority This is extremely important to me. They stay on top of pest control, and that matters a lot, especially in Hollywood where roaches, rats, and other issues are common due to the homeless crisis and items being brought in from the street. As long as tenants follow house rules and don't bring in street furniture, we're in good shape. Cleanliness & Porter Staff The building is kept clean. Clemente, our porter, works hard every day to maintain a clean environment -- even though some people can't seem to hit the trash can. His work is appreciated. The Yoga Studio Downstairs I won't take a star away for this, but I will be honest: The yoga studio brings in too much outside traffic. The mail area gets hot, steamy, and smelly, and it doesn't feel like a resort-style environment when strangers are constantly coming in and out. In the future, it might be better used as a rec room, an extended office space, or even a larger maintenance room -- something that benefits residents directly. Staff Changes Over the Years It's been sad to see some great employees come and go -- Mary, Werner, Werner's brother (amazing maintenance), Adam, and others. Adam used to offer early-bird lease specials where your rent wouldn't increase if you renewed early. Those were the days. Extra Fees I do want to mention the extra charges. I already pay my own gas and electric, but the building adds their own property-related fees on top of that. The porter fee alone is over $50 per unit. With the number of units here, that adds up to around $12,000 a month -- and we all know the porters don't get paid anywhere near that amount (though they should be paid well). It would be great if new management reevaluated these charges so long-term tenants feel encouraged to stay. Final Thoughts At the end of the day, we've lived here this long because of: * Cleanliness * Proactive management * Safety * Great location (close to the 101, Sunset, and the boulevard) No building is perfect, but this one does make an effort -- and that's what counts. We just hope management continues improving and considers adjusting some of the extra fees so good tenants can stay long-term.

Now yes of course, it is expensive that much is for sure, but the value is there in that its stunningly renovated, has unmatchable historic charm, clean from any environmental issues after a multi year restoration (unlike most other similar historic landmark buildings, yes I've Iived in my fair share of them). The parking is not ideal but honestly in four months Ive never had to walk more than a few blocks, there is a lot of parking around... The units are charmingly furnished, quiet for the most part (center courtyard), and stay cool even in the summer heat wave. I am lucky to have an amazing first floor courtyard unit- its the hugest studio on the property complete with a little staircase entry and gorgeous beamed high ceilings :) The public areas are epic beyond words, pool, lobby, courtyard and rooftop truly make your stay so inspiring and uplifting. They will make you feel so at peace and grateful. There is a small gym which Ive yet to use but hey its included :) They also go out of their way to provide cool experiences like wine and piano nights, sound bath/ meditations etc The ppl stay stay here are generally all high end, thoughtful, friendly, interesting etc- I also love that they are pet friendly and have night security The location is awesome it's so walkable (hello Kreation!). And lastly Mauricio and Vanessa that run the sales and on site mgmt are gems: smart, chill, responsive, friendly, and truly on it for anything you need - they helped inspire me to come here as well as stay~ I feel that they really care and make you feel special day in and day out!
