Think of this place as a master bedroom with a private entrance through a small shared hallway with a few extras for living (like silverware and a microwave).

The location is incredible to both the beach as well as downtown Santa Monica.

I lived here for a month and worked from home for the majority of the day. The internet was generally good, but about once/day it would require disconnecting and reconnecting your computer.

After a month of living/working here alone, it felt a bit small. This is great for 1 person or a couple to crash in while they are visiting or exploring the area.

Pros:
* Unit is exactly as described
* Great location
* Pleasant neighbors
* Responsive property manager (Ninfa)

Cons:
* The parking space right downstairs was $200/month... and my car got aggressively keyed (every side of my car) after being parked for less than a week. Not sure if it was a case of mistaken identity or if people don't like AirBnBers or if it was just random beach vandals. Regardless, it happened and there aren't any security cameras on the parking space.
* Internet would occasionally be flaky and require disconnecting/reconnecting.
