Nice short term rental due to displacement
We were recently displaced from our home for several weeks due to the Pacific Palisades wildfire. We decided to go to the Marina del Rey area, as it was far enough from the fires that air quality might be better. This apartment was perfect for us - husband, teen daughter and small dog. Bedrooms were spacious, kitchen was adequate (I did bring my own knives and a couple of higher quality pans), and we enjoyed having laundry available. TVs are streaming only, so if you want local channels or news, perhaps a Youtube TV subscribtion would be warranted, which is what we did. The only downfall is that there is only one fob to enter the garage, which was an inconvenience. My husband has a different work schedule, plus with my daughter's late night dance, I always had to be available to let them into the garage at night. I was ready to offer to pay for another key fob it was so maddening, but per host, the building only allows one garage opener per unit, even though there are two parking spots. The code to garage rarely worked, and when it did, it only opened the first gate and not the second, so you couldn't get to the assigned parking. I think if you have more than one driver, this is something that really needs sorted out, but if you are just visiting or vacationing and only have one rental car, you should be fine. The neighborhood felt safe and I enjoyed walking in the neighbor hood. Also enjoyed all the restaurants and grocery that was nearby. Overall a good stay.
