“That’ll Do”
This place is alright if you have low expectations. The key in a lockbox on a pole in an alleyway was not a great way to start a vacation into the Penthouse we paid for. Once in the elevator, management has a note in the elevator clearly stating Airbnb’s aren’t allowed.
The apartment itself is wide and spacious and incredibly clean, which was nice. But it all was very bare bones. There is no couch to sit, solely a couple plastic chairs. Pillows in the closet didn’t have any pillow cases, and there wasn’t much lighting available. But the bathroom and kitchen were very clean. And the large windows and view of the ocean is gorgeous.
The location is great for walking distance restaurants, although more “Venice Beach” (you’re right at the pier) than “Marina del Rey” feel, as the zip code suggests. The apartment did the trick for an overnight stay but I was real disappointed expecting a more Penthouse vibe (as the ad described) and experience for my parents.
