Madison Toluca

From your shared apartment at Madison Toluca, it’s an eight minute bus ride to The Art Institute of California Hollywood, and an eight minute drive to West Coast University Los Angeles Campus. When you want to explore further afield, use the bus stop up the road, keep a bike in the property’s safe storage, or make the most of the covered parking. Before every adventure, restore your energy levels with a Cuban sandwich from authentic neighborhood spot Porto’s Bakery.

When you get home, let yourself in through the controlled entry, then stop at reception to check for packages from home. Ride the elevator up to your apartment, before crossing the hardwood floors to the kitchen. After using the stainless steel appliances to fix yourself a snack, sit down at the dining table in the living area to catch up on your housemates’ latest news. Use the internet to check your emails, then stack your plates in the dishwasher and retreat to the peace of your private bedroom.

Spend an hour or two working on a paper, then step into the bathroom for a revitalising shower. With large closets in every room, you’ve got plenty of space to store your clothes; while an apartment washer/ dryer makes it easy to keep on top of the laundry. In the evening, head up to the rooftop to cook out on the barbecue grills, or to relax in an armchair by the firepit. Alternatively, make plans to go out for dinner - perhaps to sophisticated Italian spot Spumante, or to trendy hot-dog bar Vicious Dogs.
