The interior of the apartment was clean and comfortable, the owner was friendly, and the location near Santa Monica is great. However, unfortunately I never had a feeling of complete peace or security while I stayed in the apartment. For several hours during two of the three nights I was there, people rummaged noisily in the dumpster in the alley just outside the apartment and left garbage strewn around. One morning I found a puddle of urine on the landing of the building’s interior stairway, and on another day beer bottles were strewn on the landing and the floor of the landing was sticky with beer. None of this was cleaned up by the building management while I was there. This is not a reflection of the apartment itself, only of the neighborhood and the management of the building.
