So I will tell the good, the bad, the ugly and the great.
The great:
The parking space. It was so convenient to be able to park inside of the building. I definitely appreciated that. It is probably the best amenity that the place has. Jamie was also very communicative and it is a breeze to enter the apartment.
The good:
The location is very good. You can't beat it. I have family in Santa Monica, so it was the perfect location for us. It is also close to a 7/11, so anything you need late at night is right down the street.
The bad:
Like others have said, the furniture was a bit dated. The walls looked like they could use a fresh coat of paint. Also, when you come into the building it certainly feels sketchy. It's not the nicest hallway or elevator, so that's something to prepare yourself for. The bottom of the shower curtain was a bit moldy.
The ugly:
We found random hair on the sofa, in the shower and in the bed which wasn't exactly nice. There was a good amount of dust in the bedroom -, especially under the bed. My wife sneezes whenever she is around a lot of dust, so it certainly wasn't pleasant for her.
Overall, I think it has the potential to be a very nice place, but I think it would require some TLC. It would be fairly simple, some new furniture and painting the walls would probably do wonders to the place.
