The condo was nice in several ways. Very quiet, clean, felt safe, entry was simple, and there were virtually no exit responsibilities. These are huge plusses.
Shades in the bedrooms are semi-transparent and there are lights that shine outside overnight, so if you are sensitive to light at night or in the morning, this will probably be an issue. Some heavy drapes would help.
There were a couple other things that were less major but still an issue. The water pressure in the shower is very light and the water stays a pretty cool temperature. I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done about this since it is a condo. Also, the bathroom lights are on a motion sensor timer, so I regularly ended up taking a shower in the dark.
Some minor things that would be helpful. The kitchen would benefit from some basic cooking staples - oil, basic spices, etc. Also mixing bowls and things like that. Perhaps some furniture on the patio, drawers in the bedrooms, and somewhere to put shampoo etc in the shower.
The condo is near an outdoor mall and a short walk to the beach and some nice restaurants, so location is pretty great if you are looking for easy access to the main tourist attractions in Santa Monica.
