One of my family member studying at USC have been renting a master bedroom with Shrine Collection CHEZ RONEE for two years since 2023. This year, 2025 will be her third year staying in Chez Ronee. We have had great experience so far with the staff at Shrine as they are pretty responsive when it comes to having questions or putting in any maintenance request. One thing I wish is an upgrade to the refrigerator. The fridge is a bit old and can be a little small if all roommates cook as it’s the older style fridge, top freezer/ bottom fridge. Utilities are separate from the monthly rent. We paid a little extra so that management team can centralized the utilities fee for us monthly. The apt is a 12min walk to USC village which is convenient. Safety for us is most important. Within the walk from Shrine apt to USC, there is at least 2 “yellow jackets” also known as Dept of Public Safety Security Ambassadors along the way. This location is also within the free Lyft ride zone that USC offers to their students between 6pm to 2am. There is one main door to the apt and then your own apt door. They use the old fashion key system which in a way seems inconvenient at first but it’s actually safer. No one can share the code for visitors to come in the hall. There is a gated parking garage under the apt available to residents but parking pass is purchased for the whole year and not monthly. The master bedroom is a good size that can fit 2 twin, 2 tables and come with 2 built in closet. If one is staying alone, the beds can be pushed in together to make a bigger bed. The apt is furnished so that’s a plus not having to move furnitures in. We have had awesome experience working with Vanessa (our key contact person) as well as Olga recently. There is an option to do individual lease and renting the entire apt lease. Sometimes Shrine also host free events throughout the year like free such snacks, soda or craft day so that the residents can get to know each other. There is a small fee to get Amazon packages delivered safely to their residential mail boxes so we don’t worry about packages getting stolen.
