This is a duplex with 2 units/1 shared wall. The other unit has long-term tenants who are great neighbors and typically are pretty quiet but when sitting in the kitchen you might hear them at times. Please note as it is an older building, you can hear some sounds like water rushing when the other unit is using water fixtures.

Please note that our neighboring building on the right side has their back doors along our driveway (4 units) and those tenants often enter or exit their building by walking onto our driveway. Our neighbor on the other side has some dogs that tend to bark when new people go into the backyard. We have a jar of treats, you can give to them which will usually stop them from barking, and we have a bark deterrent device, but they will still sometimes bark when you're in the yard.

Quiet hours need to be respected from 10pm-8am.

Guests have full and private use of the entire unit and backyard as shown. Even though the unit itself is fully private, please note this is a duplex which is attached on one wall to another unit.

There is a ring security camera outside the front entrance which is always on and records upon motion detection.

Please note: this is an attached unit and you will hear the neighboring tenant at times. There is also some typical street noise during the day. We provide a white noise machine for your comfort.

This unit is in a diverse neighborhood representing people of a variety backgrounds.

Please note there is no luggage storage before check-in or after check-out. If you'd like early check-in, make sure to request it in advance. In most cases we cannot offer it, but we will be happy to let you know in case it is possible (though we may not be able to let you know either way until the morning of check-in in many cases). It is EXTREMELY rare that we can offer late checkout, but if you request it in advance as well we will let you know if it's possible. Requests the morning of for late checkout are not possible due to the need to schedule our cleaners in advance.

Guests are solely responsible to check themselves for personal items and remove them before check-out. If any items left behind are found, we take NO responsibility for their safekeeping in any way. As a courtesy, found items may be arranged to be picked up in Santa Monica at a time that is possible based on our availability; we do not mail forgotten items nor take any responsibility for their storage, transport, nor condition at any time, even if we agree to arrange for pickup.
