We had a nice stay at the studio apartment for the New Years weekend. Nina quickly confirmed our reservation and our check in & out went smooth. She even provided snacks, waters, and even beer! You also have the option to use beach chairs, bikes, etc. This place is in a very affluent and safe area close to the beach and nearby Venice and Santa Monica. The only negatives I have to mention are the parking and the upstairs noise level. Parking in this neighborhood was next to impossible. It may be due to the holiday weekend, but we had to circle for the longest time and blocks away from the apartment just to find a single spot each day. This area is full of red curbs and signs with different parking regulations and permitted areas. We ended up having to take a $90 parking ticket since there was no where else to park. A past review on this place briefly mentioned parking was easy so I was expecting a different experience. And lastly be aware this place is on the ground floor and the guests staying above us were quite loud. You can easily hear footsteps and noise. Overall, it was a great stay and the apartment is very nice and has everything you could need. Unfortunately I don't think I would book again unless I wasn't using a car during my stay.
