I loved this place! Both the building, with a charming portico and paintings in the hallways, and the apartment itself.
The apartment is quite spacious. The bedroom is very cozy, and has a huge wardrobe. The bathroom is not super-modern, but I didn't have any complaints, and I enjoyed that it has a window through which you can see the Santa Monica Pier while taking a shower :)
I didn't cook much, but all the necessary appliances, pots, cutlery etc. for cooking were there.
Location is awesome of course. Just a minute away from the beach.
Special thanks to the building management who were very responsive and accommodating.
