I had a wonderful stay for two weeks at Martin’s place! The apartment looked exactly like the photos and felt like home, especially because the kitchen had everything I needed to cook. I also fell in love with the couch in the living room, which is very very comfortable! There are many large windows throughout the apartment, so I enjoyed lots of natural sunlight every day. A few reviews mentioned that the apartment gets cold. I have lived in the area for a few years and felt like it was as expected for winter in Santa Monica. The space heater in the bedroom at night was perfect for me. I work remotely and was relieved that there were no issues with the wifi. The neighborhood was residential and quiet, which I love, and I was able to find parking on the street without issue. The laundry is coin operated and very conveniently located right below the apartment. Martin was a very communicative host, and his space was great for a longer stay!
