Nicole is a very responsive host! She dropped off room darkening curtains and a new coffee maker very promptly to meet my needs. She also helped me get a temporary street parking permit, and parking was always very convenient right in front of the building for me!!
The apartment is in a great location, convenient to many desirable sites in Santa Monica. The front gate can be a bit loud if you are a light sleeper and staying in unit 6 which is right next to the entry gate, but overall the complex was pretty quiet aside from light construction noise at a building nearby. I was out and about during most weekdays, so I was not disturbed much by the nearby construction noise.
The apartment is very bright and airy, but if you are sensitive to light, you may want to bring in a sleeping mask since the studio windows and pretty frosted glass French door face the hallway lights at night.
Would stay here again for a month or two!
