Alaya Apartments

The apartments themselves are great—nice interiors and a well-kept property. But leaving the building is a different story.

The street is packed with traffic and tourists constantly blocking the way. People park in red zones by the Starbucks on the corner, making it even harder to get through. My car was actually hit by someone trying to pull into the garage. It took two weeks to get it back.

Tourists ignore street signs and walk right in front of your car, so you’re often stuck through... multiple light cycles just trying to make a left. One block over is Hollywood and Highland—the worst intersection in the city.

Hollywood Blvd also gets shut down frequently, which adds to the mess. So after a long day at work, expect to sit in traffic, inch toward your garage, and wait for crowds of tourists to move just so you can get home.

Hollywood Bowl also happens all summer long so enjoy the added traffic that adds to it.

Another thing you will have to deal with is tourists waiting in front of the parking gate for you to open it and they drive down through the broken gate (its been broken since i moved in January) and park in peoples spots just to walk up to the "Walk of Fame" all while you are charged $100 a month for your parking spot.

This was the worst housing decision I ever made. I am miserable living here because of the traffic and tourists and plan on breaking my lease which I have never done before.

I know the apartment complex cant control the tourists or the traffic but I need to make you all aware of what you are getting yourself Read More

I have been here for about three months now and I can say in all honesty that moving here was a great decision. I looked on-line and did not even visit the property when I decided to 'go for it'. At the time, one of the things that made me rent here was the accessibility of the management. They are all very prompt and really try to help you out.


Once I moved, I was very surprised to see that what had been written online (some bad reviews) was a thing from the past.

The building is... pristine; I see crew cleaning every day and they keep all areas very clean. It is super pleasant to walk into the building, specially after taking a stroll down Hollywood Blvd. Location is great! You have all the crazy touristy things right by you, but when you are in the building … it is surprisingly quiet.

The pool area and all the other amenities are great and always super clean. It really has an 'hotel'-the nice kind- feel to it. I have placed 2 service requests and they have been solved in less that 24 hours. And as I mentioned before, management replies to emails super quick.

As for loud neighbors (I have not experienced this) I do not think it is a problem with the management; there are just inconsiderate people out there. I

In all honesty, do not think about it twice. There are shops. bars, the Hollywood bowl, hikes, the Metro (that takes you all the was to the beach) right out your door. And the best of all is that you can come to a super chill, well-taken care home after enjoying the city.

The one suggestion I would make is to make the recycling bins a bit more accessible; other than this, the place is great.

Oh, ignore all those old reviews, they must have been written a while back.

PS: I am super picky with my living spaces and, seriously, this place is amazing. Read More

I appreciate the leasing office, the maintenance team and overall my experience at the Alaya Hollywood. I was enjoying my experience here up until I realized that this place is not safe enough to live in. My Motorcycle was stolen from the property (my designated parking spot) and there is no trace or evidence of what happened! this makes me terrified and scared to live in such place.

If you want to live in Hollywood this is the perfect place and affordable. I have been here 3 years. Great management wonderful employees great security spacious living wonderful pool area whole property is kept clean great maintenance response time 0 roaches never had to complain about noise everyone living here is nice, friendly, minds their business.

Beautiful apartments and a friendly staff makes these apartments a prime choice for anybody looking to move in the area.
