Stayed for a month at Brian's place. You can't beat the location both to the beach and onto I‐10. Walking about 10 mins on Bay st. will put you on a boardwalk directly in front of the ocean. Unit is private and fills with light with the doors open with cross breeze from the ocean. There's an AM/PM/Arco station nearby. The building is older but seemed to be maintained well. Unit itself was in good condition and had dishwasher. Builtin bookcase and Murphy bed was great for guests. Internet was relatively fast and stable, and dinner table is long enough for a nice multimonitor office setup Very friendly folks around the building and had conversations relaxing by the private pool. Private parking is essential in Santa Monica so having a private gated entry with designated parking spot and remote was a lifesaver. Overall, highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to work remotely and check out the area.
