You are paying for the view/location, pure and simple - which is beautiful, but do not expect amenities. It can be loud and quite hot in the unit too, since there is no temperature regulation (opening the windows can cool the room slightly but welcomes all of the sounds of Santa Monica into the apartment). The bed needs to be replaced, it is completely sagging on
one side. Silvio messaged me to confirm I checked in okay but then did not respond to any follow-up messages.
