Based on just the apartment and space alone, Van Nuys is by far the best place for the money. It’s actually very charming. Haven’t looked it up on a map though . . .

The West Hollywood apartment is dreadful. Who ever photographed did it a real disservice it looks like a bowling alley for speed freaks. The East Hollywood one is the beast looking of the lot but not having parking can be a nightmare.

Definitely Van Nuys. Very nice and great pricing. But they should’ve provide better photos for West Hollywood.

East Hollywood because Charles Bukowski lived down the street.
