This is a very central spot in Santa Monica with a nice little enclosed yard. I really enjoyed the hammock on hot afternoons. I really like that there was a reserved parking spot right in front of the unit. Even with a new car felt very safe. This is a pretty densely populated area but was surprisingly quiet. Some of the adjacent neighbors can see into yard area but all nice neighbors. Another plus is having access to a coin washer and dryer. The studio did get a little warm but a fan was provided without me even asking. Santa Monica is usually around 70 but it's been running hotter every year. All in all good long term stay for work or exploring the area.
