Overall we were disappointed by the apartment. Location was good if you want to be in the heart of Santa Monica but lots of street noise kept us up at night. The metro is very close and you can hear it all night.
The apt was not cleaned very well when we arrived. Floors didn’t look like they had been cleaned and we saw a few ants in the bathroom.
Shower had low pressure.
Check in required meeting someone at a specific time which is inconvenient especially on a travel day when travel times and plans may change.
