Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

My husband and I have lived at AVA Little tokyo for 6 and half years and it was always an amazing experience. The staff was so friendly and very helpful and timely in meeting our maintenance requests and other needs. I want to especially thank Miranda for going above and beyond in bringing my delivered boxes into the office one day because she saw them just lying around in the mail room the whole day and wanted to keep them safe. She truly embodies kindness and professionalism and is a valued member of the team. I also want to thank Ashley, an office associate, for being very friendly, accommodating and professional towards emmndx u quick to offer help to me when I needed help picking up my accidentally delivered boxes from the hub despite the fact I don’t live there anymore. Will recommend to anyone to experience living at AVA Little Tokyo.

Ava Little Tokyo has been such a great experience so far, both residing and community wise. The leasing office staff are some of the nicest people and Roland, our leasing agent, has made the process even easier. He is quick to respond to any inquiries and has helped out with everything we’ve needed. I would also like to mention that all the staff here are so friendly and are always willing to say hi. I would definitely recommend Ava Little Tokyo to anyone who is looking for a all they would need in an apartment in Little Tokyo.
