AWESOME beach apartment! -would definitely love to come back.
Daniel was fast and accurate with communication. The apartment is 1 block from a clean white sand beach. Neighborhood is safe, gated 2-car-stacked parking, locked building, beach chairs/towels/boogie boards, nice building-mates. Unit has upgraded stocked kitchen, basic cooking spices/oil/coffee, comfy beds, cool A/C, heating, stocked W/D, clean stocked bathrooms, jacuzzi tub, cable/netflix/Roku, small balconies w/diagonal beach view. It's like your own beach home but VERY tidy. Covid cleaned, sanitizer bottles, and box of surgical masks. Daniel left a bottle of wine.
Noise was minimal-- The tiny street/alley is rarely trafficked and you are on a higher floor. We weren't bothered by the rare person walking by. The upstairs creaks were not that often.
Costco (with gas), Trader Joes and Ralphs (our Safeway card worked) only 5 min away. Restaurants walkable 3 blocks away (far enough loitering doesn't affect you). Easy walkable to Venice beach and Marina del Rey, paved easy 5K jog to Santa Monica pier. Waves are good for boogie boarding, not enough for surfing. Staffed life guard stations.
Summary: The location was absolutely priceless and Daniel's attention to detail was perfect. We really felt at home and would love to live here forever.
