A beautiful apartment that offered breathtaking views. The overall feeling was light and airy; perfect if you are interested in checking out quintessential Santa Monica. I spent a couple of more dollars by choosing such a lovely efficiency but you will never beat the view of the ocean and the pier directly across from you. It was definitely money well spent and made up for by eating in for many of my meals. Silvio was easy to reach out to when I had a question and the whole building was beautifully maintained and decorated, and the people who work there are super nice and helpful as well. Yes there’s a club downstairs and if you are looking for a bit of respite from the world it may not be your first choice as it can get loud, but I live in NYC so it depends what lens you view it through. Ultimately once you hit the water and all you hear are the crashing of the waves you’ll be content that you decided on this little gem. A++ Thanks so much again for the opportunity; it was my first time in California and most certainly will not be my last.
