The location of this apartment is just amazing - it really is steps to Abbot Kinney Boulevard. Yet you can still walk to the beach / Santa Monica. Its really light and great to be upstairs without anyone above you. There was no noise from downstairs and the street noise was minimal - and the bedrooms are at the back so the kids slept well. We are a family of 4 with kids 5 and 9 yrs. Loved the extras like the robes! Thanks!
