The apartments are well equipped and have all the appliances you could want. When the windows are closed the downtown noise is shut out beautifully. The only noise issue will be an EDM producer for a neighbor but that's typical for LA. The maintenance staff is quick to respond and fix and issues. The security staff is also excellent. The park across the street is wonderful and there is a farmer's market there every week. Although there are many amenities, I do not feel welcome to use them. When in the shared spaces I have often been asked what unit I live in and had my guests counted. This will feel familiar to any POC and continues within the building. Community policies on the number of allowed guests shift. The end result - there are lots of grills and great overlooks of downtown but you may not freely share those spaces with your friends. There is a dormitory vibe even though the apartments are priced at a premium.

Llewellyn Apartments, the building and amenities are nice. Walls are super thin. Do not move here if you're not on a top floor. Their application process was an absolute nightmare. -------- -----, my assigned leasing agent treated me like a criminal throughout the entire thing. For instance, she forced me to log into my ADP in her presence several times, took my personal computer to her manager's office and combed through my bank accounts for 15 minutes and then told me she could not authenticate my jobs. It was not until I escalated it to another agent that this concern was addressed. --------'s response was "we catch 80% of scammers through our review". That aside, I have had several instances with -------- where she has been rude, uncouth, and unkind to me for no reason, yet eager to help white residents right in front of me. She harasses ----- and ------ people when we are using amenities and make security ask us to leave while simultaneously not doing the same to white residents. I have confronted her about this on several occasions and had multiple meetings with ----- regarding her behavior. A little over a week ago, I walked into the office to ask a brief question, before I could even open my mouth to greet her she shooed me away and exclaims "oh I'm so busy right now, I can't help you, ------ (security) can". In fact, she was not on a call, nor where her fingers on the keyboard when I approached. Also the security team is not the leasing office, so ------ could not actually help me. About three minutes passed and while I was waiting for ------, another resident walked up looking for a package -------- emailed him about. She got up from her desk, asked him "how may I help you"? There are quite a number of other residents here that have had the same encounters with her as well. Last week, a resident's boyfriend noticed a DoorDash order sitting outside the building, brought it up to -------- to turn it in for it's intended and she stated "don't touch people's orders, it's not yours, and we don't hold food here, there's nothing I can do with that". Instead of simply leaving it at the concierge desk, like other order that are brought in when security is not present. She is dedicated to ensuring that ----- and brown people here in this community never come out of their homes to enjoy anything and her attitude is ridiculous. Not only is she rude and unhelpful to us, she has created a racist and hostile living environment here at Llewellyn and has opened Greystar up to a class action lawsuit. I started a petition to that affect. If this has been your experience here, please sign it. If she is not here to serve all the residents equally, then she would be better suited somewhere else. It is my hope that she will be able to use this as a teachable moment and improve on acting like a professional as well as mastering the art of basic conversation principles. Oh and by the way -------- is ----- herself, however that has no bearing on the self-hatred she displays toward her own community.

I love living at Llewellyn! The partnent is conveniently located near downtown and little Tokyo. There is a large park nearby which hosts many events. The amenities are great and aren't very crowded for a building of it's size. The staff are friendly and maintenance is very responsive.

The place is expensive but you get what you paid for (the market in dtla is expensive). I happily live here with no problems. They bring food trucks to us for food options but more restaurants are opening up everyday. Beautiful park behind us, clean streets, and no homeless camps nearby. Definitely no complaints overall.
