Location is amazing, 3 minute walk to the beach, small supermarket across the street and many lovely cafes around. Walking distance(15 min) to Santa Monica Pier and Venice beach (25 min).Apt is very comfortable. We are a family of 5. Beds are comfortable, AC works well, view of beach is nice. Garage was always open but it’s a great addition and we felt very safe in the building and area. Good shower it would have been nice to have 2 showers but at least there are 2 bathrooms. Kitchen has everything including salt/sugar/olive oil etc. Washer and Dryer also worked well.Rooftop pool is shared but wasn’t crowded. The kids enjoyed it. We also used the pool BBQ and it was nice.-We ran out of coffee pods for the Nespresso machine and asked the owner for more. We could not find where to buy them and the owner was willing to help. For people who love coffee in the morning - this is one of those things which would prevent us from coming back.-Some nice additions could be having detergent and softener for the washing machine. We ended up buying and leaving there.-Beach chairs and beach umbrella could have been nice as well.

location, parking garage an elevator access.

All was well. Host rep met us with key and parking instructions as promised. The unit is cheaply finished and Furnished, except for upscale appliances, but still has a lot going for it—we had everything we needed and the location and neighborhood are five star worthy!

We recently stayed for 4 nights, I will mention the highlights and areas for improvement below:There were 4 areas that were great:1) The location was very convenient, about 2 blocks from the beach, and a 10-15 minute walk to the pier. There is a little local market and a cute coffee shop that serves breakfast/lunch steps away from the lobby.2) The AC in the unit worked great3) The beds were very comfortable4) The building and underground parking felt very safe.A couple of things made it feel less homey and could be improved upon easily:-When we first arrived, we noticed only 2 mismatched bath towels and 1 washcloth available. Days later, while doing the laundry, found several more towels and a kitchen towel in the dryer.-The lighting in the unit was a big miss. There are plenty of can lights in the kitchen, but none in the dining area at all, and one lamp in the living room. All stairwell sconces not working,3rd floor lighting out as well. Powder bathroom is dark.-Things that were not working: Microwave, Hairdryer-The exhaust in the main bathroom is not good, which creates a lot of moisture dripping from walls/ceilings. The metal hatch on the ceiling has rusty screws that drip rust water onto anyone using the toilet. Condensation line routes to ceiling of shower, more rust water drops on you when showering and has stained the tub. Shower does not drain properly.-Dishwasher Interior not clean (black residue in door)-Apt had a noticeable smell of pot on arrival.
