This apartment is located on a perfect location near Santa Monica. The apartment is on the second floor with 9 other units in the same building. The neighborhood is safe and walkable. There is a grocery store within walking distance and some restaurant options as well. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking.
There is no A/C unit inside, so we had to ask for fans which Nicole kindly provided. It still does get pretty warm inside on the warmer days even with the windows open and the fan on.
As we slept with our windows open, we heard a lot of noises at night such as truck loading/unloading and sirens. The apartment is located pretty close to the major street, so it is not the most quiet place.
The designated parking space is in the back of the building. It was nice to have our own parking spot, but it was tiny and our Corolla just barely fit. If you have a bigger car, you’ll probably be better off parking in the street. Also, there were metal rods sticking out of the wall that punctured our tire…
The wifi was not working well initially and we found out that we were given wifi network and password from the apartment unit below. It took 1 month for us to get our own internet modem in our unit. If you need good wifi for work, make sure to ask if there will be internet modem inside the apartment unit.
