I moved to SOTA, Westwood location in September 2019. I was moving from the Mid West to escape the horrible winter to- like others- chase the sun in LA while working in marketing online. LA was a completely new place to me and I thought that coliving might be a great way to know more people and also know the culture (Plus SOTA prices are greatly relative to the regular LA rental market!). Skeptically, I signed the very reasonable lease that they offer knowing that I can just look for another place if this doesn't go as I plan to be. I ended up staying there for the next 10 months and still have strong connections with the people that I shared the space with during my time there. SOTA is great because they already provide all of the furnishings, utilities, and etc... as if it's a rental package. They also have awesome management who are super cool and understanding. If any of the tenants have any problems, they're usually just a text or call away. If you're thinking about coliving, I definitely suggest giving SOTA a try :) They're doing something great there!
