The apartment looked exactly as it appears in the photos, beautiful and modern. There were very clear instructions about everything from checking in, parking, trash and check out. It is true what everyone said about the building, is that it's right on a main street and therefore can be a little noisy. But that is something I'm used to at home, so it wasn't an issue for me. Close to Abbot Kinney and Venice Beach, it was an ideal place to stay if you want to be in the middle of it all.
