I gave this place 4 stars and here is why: communication with the Abode team was great and descriptions very detailed. The apartment itself was ok. It was clean but with signs of wear and tear. Not too bad but we expected higher standard taking into consideration price we paid. Location is ok as well: very safe and nice, but nothing special. We actually prefered to hang out around Santa monica, there you’ll find lots of restaurants, cafes and shops all walkable. In marina del rey you’ll need a car for everything
