Perfect! Even for a 6 week stay with a 9 month old. (Work trip).
Everything was exactly as described and everything you need. It was meticulously clean (which matters when you’re bringing a little one), the AC kept things very comfortable on the 3 hot days a year that you need it in Santa Monica and the apartment had everything we needed. We brought our own baby gear (pack’n’play and high chair) but otherwise Nicole has thought of everything. The kitchen has everything you need for most cooking (we cooked dinner ~20x; the only thing I don’t remember is a blender (but may have been there; I didn’t look). There was a hair dryer and iron. And the bedrooms had small dressers to put things away if you’d like. The shower water pressure is excellent. Internet was good but potentially would suggest you hotspot if you need to be on important zoom calls all day. Most of the time, I didn’t have an issue, but it did drop from time to time (internet provider issue, not this place).
Neighbors/Neighborhood:
The neighbors in the building were all respectful and quiet. It felt very safe. You’re a block from an excellent restaurant (Rustic Canyon) and great margaritas and chips and salsa (forget the name but it’s on the corner) and there is a church a block away. Very clean little street, north of Wilshire (which is much better than on Wilshire or south of Wilshire) and lots of grass and friendly people walking dogs. The grocery is 2 blocks away; the beach is ~12 blocks away—you can easily walk.
Host:
Nicole was very easy to work with! We arrived late because of traffic and she was extremely accommodating. And was flexible when we extended what we thought was a 4 week stay to 6 weeks. She made it all very easy and was transparent.
