Perfect location! Bought a temporary bike and biked to the SM/Brentwood farmers markets and beach every week. Got to bike to the quiet Pacific palisades and watch it get more and more crowded and lively as you head towards Venice. Running to and from the beach is about 5k and I loved exploring the streets on foot. Neighborhood is quiet but close to some good restaurants. Solid sushi spot at the end of the block and many cafes you can walk to. Loved it here and really felt like a local.
Nina was a good and responsive host. I had the toilet break a couple weeks in and she sent someone out the next day to fix it. She was also ok with me bringing my cat, which was a bonus!
Bed was comfortable enough but wish the frame was more sturdy. It’s a metal frame that would squeak and move around whenever I moved and I’m 120 pounds. Bedroom could be very bright sometimes if the neighbor leaves the porch light on so I got an eye mask. I used to live in Manhattan, New York without a problem so this was very, very bright. Kitchen had mostly everything I needed to cook. Dishwasher was amazing. TV isn’t connected to cable or internet and had no adapters available so I had to bring my own HDMI to connect to my laptop for streaming. Living room gets lots of natural light!! Perfect for working from home.
Bathroom wall was a little dirty when I checked in but everywhere else was very clean.
Overall I liked the place. Would stay again if it wasn’t so pricey!
