The Good:
Great location with restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. (Check out the Italian Restaurant
at the corner of the building). The beach is more like a 10+ minutes walk but still do-able.
Underground parking in the building is very convenient.
Santa Monica location is an easy drive to sites in the LA area.
Communication with “Tom” very easy and prompt
Not as good:
Had to wait 20 minutes past 4:00pm check in time for the key
Unit not as clean as we are accustomed to, floors a bit dusty, unfolded towels and sheets left in drier, no dish towels in the kitchen or hand towels in the bathrooms. Vertical blinds broken and not working properly in at least one bedroom. No place to put suitcases except on the floor or unused bed
Be aware, unit faces Santa Monica Blvd so there is a bit of traffic noise and the whole Santa Monica area has its share of homeless and trash issues.
