This apartment is perfect and I will absolutely be checking to see if it is available on subsequent trips to Santa Monica.
This was my first airbnb experience. I was in town both for business and vacation, and brought my three children with me (12, 14, &16) for the two week stay. Because my business is in Santa Monica, I was within about 10 minutes of anything happening there... And even when the kids and I wanted to do touristy things, we were in a great centralized location whether I chose to drive somewhere, Uber, or rent a Bird scooter. (If you are from out of town and don't know what that is, look them up! They're really cool and always available in the area of the apartment.)
The neighborhood is mostly quiet. In two weeks time, we only heard one loud incident from what appeared to be a dinner party on a weekend evening. It wasn't in the same building.
There is only one washer and dryer for the building, but it was available every time we went to do laundry.
Corey was always quick to respond whenever I emailed him about anything. Very helpful. He also has a binder with information about the apartment as well as information about things you might like to do in the area.
If you have a car, the parking pass is super helpful. In two weeks of staying, I twice had to park on different blocks because the block we were on was full. Even when that happened, I was just around the corner.
This place is clean and cute and definitely worth checking out. When the kids and I left we talked about how, while we hope it's available next time, it's weird that we might not necessarily be in there again for a long time, if ever. Because, it felt like home. The whole trip, we never said that we were going back to the hotel or headed back to the Airbnb. We just called it home.
