Wiseman is a safe bet. It's not the best, it's not the worst, and you get what you pay for.

Butler Cabana is in a great location, and our apartment is spacious. Our primary complaint is the management which is sometimes unresponsive as well as the shoddily designed unit and appliances.

The apartment itself is a pretty solid, spacious apartment that's comfortable to live in. We have a good amount of living room and dining room space, a pretty large kitchen, and a very large master bedroom (with a walk-in closet and master bathroom that includes a hot tub). The additional two bed rooms are significantly smaller, but definitely manageable for those with fewer possessions.

Wiseman Management was pretty terrible to deal with though. They are very unresponsive and they also lied to us during the process (we were told we would get two standalone parking spots and instead got two tandem spots). Our apartment also had a number of issues when we moved in including defective power outlets in the bathroom and mold in the water dispenser of the refrigerator. That said, our initial landlord quit, retired, or got fired and is no longer with Wiseman. We haven't had any issues with the new landlord.

The location is great because we are just west of the 405 and a couple blocks away from both Wilshire and Santa Monica, so we avoid a lot of the noise from those heavily congested areas. We're also walking distance to great restaurants (especially ramen and Mexican cuisine) and bars where a lot of UCLA Anderson folks go out to. The Santa Monica beach and pier are also a quick, cheap Uber ride away. We also haven't had too many issues with traffic when attempting to get to campus. Rather than taking the 405, we usually just take Wilshire or Ohio to Sepulveda and then use back roads to get to Sunset and then to campus.

Relatively new apartment building in a great neighborhood...My only complaint is the management, which is not very responsive when it comes to maintenance issues.
