Very disappointed. Pro’s: walking distance to Santa Monica Main Street and Beach, secure private parking and locked property gate, updated kitchen area. Con’s: Filthy kitchen counters and cabinets and refrigerator handles; Large chips in the paint needing fixing; Broken lock latch on first floor window; Door to one bedroom had fist size hole in it; Dirt and fingerprints on just about every interior door, and front door had multiple cracks that looked like someone tried a forced entry at some point; Baseboards, window sills and frames filthy with ages of dust and dirt built up; Floors had sand on them so clearly not swept with proper attention;
“Clean” dishes put away with some food fragments on them (we used our own paper plates because of this); Walls and some bedside tables with many scuff marks and dirt; Food wrappers and some loose candy easily seen left under two of the beds along with years of dust; Several light fixtures missing bulbs; downstairs bathroom smelled of urine upon check in and shower has visible mold.
Several beds and one couch are worn down or were not built with adequate support so you sink in deep.
TV worked but we could not access any streaming apps or connect to our iPhones (looks like Android would work). No cable and small inside antennae led to some broadcast stations along with many foreign language stations.
Washer and dryer are listed as in the unit but actually are located in the building basement and shared by all all the units plus require coin payment.
This unit is not being properly cleaned and taken care of. Unacceptable to us. Other reviewers somehow were less bothered.
