I'll start by saying this is a really cute apartment, the complex is beautiful and the amenities (pool, gym, hot tub) are great and we used them often. It was close to everything and we saved a lot of gas money walking everywhere! Less than a 15 minute drive from the Santa Monica Pier. Constant construction work going on right outside our bedrooms during the whole 3 months we stayed here was our biggest issue. The listing did say the "patio was undergoing renovations" but it turned into much more than that, as they were redoing all the complex walls towards the end. Communication could also be improved, as it is a company and not just one host. However, I think it would be a much better place to stay once all of the construction is over
