Qin was very flexible with our check-in time as we got stuck in bad traffic delaying our arrival. Her partner met us at the apartment and showed as the secure garage parking (included!!). The apartment was spacious and although the AC was temporarily not working, the neighborhood was quiet so having the Windows open overnight was really nice. It was so close to 3rd street promenade and the beach (a quick walk to each) and a quick drive/taxi to Venice. I would love to stay with Qin again if we are ever able to make it back to Santa Monica!
