Our college daughter and her roommate lived at Cyrus and Tracy's apartment for their fall semester to do school online. This was the perfect location for them to study and focus on school. It is extremely quiet and in a lovely garden atmosphere with lots of trees surrounding their apartment. The tree squirrels that live on the property provided plenty of entertainment as they would jump around in the trees all day long. They loved feeding them nuts on occasion too. The girls always felt safe there. It's in a great location of Santa Monica and the beach/pier, 3rd st Promenade, etc., are a quick trip away. Parking is almost always available on their street and if not then can be found around the corner. Trader Joes and Ralph's are very conveniently located nearby. Cyrus was always very responsive to any concerns the girls had. When the Wifi seemed slow he called the Internet provider and had a new/upgraded wifi that improved the connectivity they needed for remote classes. When there was a plumbing concern one evening Cyrus had a repair man come at 10pm. Nancy, who lives down stairs, is always around for any questions or concerns or just to chat as well. They have it all covered here and you really cannot go wrong to book your extended trip here...so look no further!
