Pros:
Great location, beautiful view, fresh ocean breeze fills the unit if you open the windows and having parking is a huge plus. Comfortable bed and the unit itself is nice and seems fairly new. Host was friendly, accommodating and quick to respond.
Cons:
Unit was missing a few basic things I’d expected at this price point; no paper towels/kitchen towels or coffee in kitchen, no toilet roll holder, and only 1 hook in bathroom for all towels. No night-lamp by bed and only a bar stool for sitting at work station that did not really fit. All details but should be an easy fix and would have made the experience even better. Unit also had random knick knack sitting around that felt like clutter. (Non-used picture frames and decor stashed in a corner etc. ) Not a huge deal but lowers the overall experience. Check-in process was unfortunately not good. A lock box located in a Santa Monica alley is not a great option in my opinion.
Overall:
A nice place with some annoyances and with a little extra effort this place can be great.
