Overall it was a bad experience.
Positive things: 1. the rooftop of the building with a great view on the beach, Sean and Santa Monica pier. 2. The management teams was responsive to my questions.
After all the rest was n’égala very bad experience. The apartment 207 is supposed to be on the second floor but since the building is on a slope, one side of the building is the second floor, but the other side is the ground floor.. the side of my room. So the apartment is at street level and at the corner of 2 streets. You can’t open the curtains.
The apartment is very noisy. We hear all type of noise: the noise of the front door, close to the apartment (each time someone enters or leaves, the door is slammed), the noise that comes from the street with people shouting outside, talking right outside near the window drinking, smoking, listening music in their cars (you feel like people are in your room), the noise from the apartment on top of mine (loud music). Sometimes, I didn’t feel safe (alcoholics, people shouting outside).
If you want to sleep you need earplugs. On top of that, people were knocking to my door regularly to look for the manager. Nobody really knows who and where the manager is.
The different furnitures were ok for the kitchen, but for the rest it was very cheap. I recommended to the manager yo replace the chairs, tables, not comfortable at all to eat, work, etc. You cannot s’est in a proper position, the bed is also old and super noisy when you move. Same for the bathroom, the taps are old.
It could be ok for 1 week but when you have to book for 1 month, you are stuck.
