Thank you for hosting us David and Arturo! Location was great- close to public transit and also short Uber to Santa Monica, Venice, and local grocery stores. The suite itself was nice and large for a studio and was a great home base.
There were a few things that I do feel could be improved upon:
When we first arrived the smell of chemical cleaners was quite strong- If you are like us and more sensitive to chemical smells and products I would suggest asking ahead for these not to be used as we found it quite noticeable for the first 24 hours and was difficult to air out the suite due to only 1 window opening.
Kitchen- if you like to cook lots like us be aware that there is no full oven, only toaster oven and a mini fridge. We live a more natural lifestyle and would have really appreciated stainless steel pots and pans etc over Teflon. Electric kettle lid was also broken and we nearly spilled boiling water on ourselves! We also found the fridge incredibly loud, so if you are not a sound sleeper this may pose an issue for you.
Bathroom- was great that there was a bathtub but we weren’t able to use it because there was no plug- overall the shower was difficult to use, was a bit leaky and could use an upgrade!
Would have been great if beach towels had been provided considering the proximity to multiple beaches.
We were quite disappointed to learn that there was No cable despite the listing advertising that there was. There was Netflix access but other than that you would need to have private subscriptions to access anything additional. We were happy we had our laptop with us for the evenings!
Overall however we had a lovely time and were grateful for David and Arturo’s swift replies when a few things required attention. A good place for those just looking for a home base near the beach and not wanting to do a lot of cooking at home.
