I spent 3 months in this apartment and it was the best stay I could possibly imagine. Not only that the location is amazing right next to the water and to the pier. Everything is walkable. More grocery stores in walking distance would have been nice, but Vons is walkable and everything else can easily be handled with a car (which is kind of necessary in LA). The parking lot is right next to the building and parking was included.
The furniture was all new and the apartment was totally clean like nobody has ever lived in there before.
I never was disturbed by the construction work that was going on. They work on weekdays during daytime when I was not in the apartment. They didn’t work on weekends.
Like most Airbnb hosts I didn’t meet Andrea personally but she was always very helpful and responded immediately when I had a question.
Before my stay I got warned about strange people strawling around by the pier. Of course, it’s the Santa Monica Pier. There are definitely some strange people hanging out in that area (not even a lot in my opinion) but I felt totally safe at any time. Never had any bad experiences. Also at night.
Big Deans Ocean Front Café is a Beach Bar 2 mins walking distance from the Building and is nice for hanging out in the evenings and fun for American football on the weekends.
Also I slept very well in the bed. There’s nothing better than getting up in the morning and carry the cup of coffee out to the beach. I would totally recommend and want to come back very soon!!
