Excellent location, parking options, sleep options. Very clean, excellent communication too.

Great location. Safe neighborhood. Clean. Could use an AC

This is a nice quiet apartment just a short walk from the beach. The rooms were big and the apartment was very well equipped. Close to Santa Monica and the pier, Venice Beach and all the attractions, restaurants, bars and beach activities.

Our stay overall was good. It started off with we had requested an early check in. That unfortunately was not available. No big deal. We walked to the beach. But were told the host would contact when house was ready. When we hadn’t heard from him we just started making our way back to the house. It was already 30 mins after Check when we finally heard from the host. House was kinda clean. You can tell it was in dire need for a deep clean. Very dusty. Finger prints all over the stove, fridge and windows. There was dust in all corners. The work station chair was broken. There were no luggage racks in any room. The upstairs room closet to the bathroom the electric outlet was broken. The house had no AC. We had to take out our own trash and recycle. And to top it all off we felt like the host was trying to get us to check out early. Sent us messages on how they had a family coming in the next morning. We didn’t checkout early. We left at 11. I probably wouldn’t book here again.

Easy check in. Great location for all things Santa Monica: shops, restaurants & beach. Everything within walking distance. Awesome & secure parking underneath. It’s an older apartment, but both bathrooms have been renovated. The kitchen appliances are new as well. And it was very clean. It was unseasonably cold when we arrived, so the provide space heater was much appreciated for the 1st floor bedroom. Upstairs was perfectly warm on its own. This was a perfectly good base for our family of four (two teenage girls). Thanks FJ.

Property was as described. TV was a little old and does not have YouTubeTV. Would be nice to have had a Roku/firestick option for that, but no other complaints.

I am going to leave an honest review so that others know what they are getting when they rent this VRBO. PROS: Great location near the beach, quiet and neighbourhood seemed safe, good parking CONS: NOT CLEAN, the floors, kitchen counters, and fridge were dirty, and the downstairs shower had black mold. Did not use the shower as it felt unsafe. The upstairs shower head doesn't work well and the tub doesn't drain well. Also, the listing says there is a washer and dryer, but it's not in the unit, but rather in the garage. This should have been specified more clearly in the listing. The walls were dirty with dust and cobwebs. The front window lock was broken. Overall, FJ seems like a nice owner with an easy check in and out. However, this unit needs to be CLEANED. I would not rent this VRBO listing again. Sorry, but I felt a need to be honest for others considering this rental.

The location is GREAT - beach is just down the hill, halfway to the beach is a wonderful strip of stores/restaurants/bars on Main...really great neighborhood feel. Check in/check out a breeze. The parking garage was an awesome perk. The condo itself was just right - needs some TLC here and there and a good DEEP clean...but hey, so does my house! SO much room in this place!
