I will begin with the good part. I used to live in Venice Beach, so I am super familiar with this neighborhood. The location is amazing! There is one building in between this place and the beach! It is about 3-4 blocks south of Washington, which has great restaurants, and it is walking distance to the boardwalk and canals!
The apartment is also large, and the beds are comfy. There is parking too. This is where the good part ends.
The advertisement says “updated,” but the only things updated are the floors, TV, and the kitchen. Unfortunately, the kitchen is not super usable because there is nothing in it. There were only 3 spoons. My family and I had to eat breakfast in shifts. The kitchen table has 2 chairs, and one is broken.
When we arrived, I sat down on the couch to relax, and after a few minutes realized I was wet! It turns out the couch and upholstered chair were both soaking wet. I can only assume the cleaning people had to wash them. But, there was no warning letting us know this. The couch is super stained too.
I know this neighborhood well, and it is not safe at night. This apartment is on the first floor, so you have to close the windows at night, and there are some fans, but there is no air conditioning, and it feels very stuffy.
Finally, the main bathroom is not at all updated. The shower is rusty and yucky.
It was very expensive for a sub-par experience. I would recommend finding a different place.
