The location is fantastic! There is just one house between the appt and the sand, it is a wide beach but the view is great! You are pretty much right on the boardwalk! It is a very eclectic mix of people, do not expect ritzy stuck up but more laid back, plenty of locations to have a drink. We went to a Lounge called High on the 6th floor with a great view of the beach.
You can also walk to either Venice or Santa Monica pier. T&C Italian is fantastic (by the Venice Pier). The house next to the apartment has music that is quite loud, but fortunately during the evening/ night they shut it down so you will not be bothered. Seems the blue house is rented out to promote products so the same company might not be there in the future.
Nice breeze flows through the house, very stocked kitchen, the bed is super comfortable and the showers water pressure is great!
There is a public parking lot right out the door and since you will be staying there you do not have to pay the regular fee but make sure to tip the guys that work there.
Bring shampoo, soap, etc. Tiffany and Janin reply quickly for any issue you might encounter.
Would come back for sure!
