Do NOT rent this apartment if you are with a group with small children. This apartment is FILTHY: smelly and moldy bathrooms, mold growth in window sills and tiles, dirtiest air intake vent showed its likely never been cleaned, let alone, air filters replaced. Musty-smelling beds and linens (honestly, was scared there were bed bugs). Dust everywhere! This place is not at all suitable for anyone looking for a nice place to stay with/without children. The biggest pro of this apartment was the underground, locked garage, and the location. Otherwise, don't waste your time and money. This stay deeply marred our Christmas (12/24-28) experience in Santa Monica. Owner needs to put forth significant efforts to upgrade all furnishings, kitchenware (only had a few bowls and cups, then cabinets full of paper plates), and cleanliness (mold, dust, sticky kitchen counters, smelly bedding, sticky floors and tables). We will NEVER stay here again.
