Great vibe and location and communication with owner. Lack of screens is an issue because there's no AC and if you open windows, expect some insects. Espresso machine is a nice bonus.

This was our second visit and enjoyed it again. Our stay was too short. The apartment is comfortable with a nice kitchen. Lots of books and art works on the walls. Mia is very helpful and quick to answer questions. The location in West LA is very convenient, close to freeways and not far from Westwood and beach areas. I recommend it highly.

I slept like a rock. Everything was clean and comfortable. Accessing the apartment was easy. I particularly liked the great water pressure in the shower. I'll definitely be back.

I cannot say enough good things about this place and its hosts. Close to everything we wanted to go to, a quiet peaceful neighborhood, the most amount of sunlight LA can provide. I have never felt more comfortable and taken care of than I did here. 5 stars across the board.

While Tia was a friendly and responsive host, the cleanliness of the apartment wasn’t up to my liking. The apartment is light and bright with plenty of windows. However that is also part of the problem. There aren’t any screens on the windows and the windows are old and do nothing to keep the sound of over head planes landing at SM airport out. Likewise the lack of screens seems to add to the layer of dust covering most surfaces. The listing should acknowledge that the apartment is directly in the flight path of Santa Monica airport. Updating the windows would really help keep the sound out. Instead, the sound of the planes during the day and the freeway at night was fairly constant. Regarding the cleanliness, dust covered most surfaces and the bathroom needs to be gone over by a skilled professional. My disclaimer is I am a fan of keeping my surroundings clean. My judgment in the above criticisms is not meant to dissuade others to visit the “funky” apartment, but rather a request to action for the owner.

Tania's place was absolutely wonderful for our two-day trip to Los Angeles. It's in a quiet residential neighborhood, so noise was never an issue. The apartment was beautiful, light and bright, with a cozy deck with comfortable chairs. The bedroom was comfortable with a nice memory foam mattress. Whenever I had a question, she was quick to answer and made us feel right at home.

We had a wonderful stay!! Property was exactly as described! Had all the things needed for a perfect stay! Mia was a a great host and we will definitely be back!!

Beautiful property in the quiet, suburban east Santa Monica/Mar Vista neighborhood. The apartment is curated with fun artwork and well-stocked. Owners are communicative and very helpful! Whole Foods, Starbucks and more nearby, and only an 8 min drive from Will Rogers beach. Great time!
