Premier Resort Style Living Minutes from Santa Monica

Good location, spacy apartment, safe parking spot, good communication with host, in a nice neighborhood , apartment fairly equipped

Awful beds, Relatively low noise, not so clean

Very nice kitchen in the apartment! Nice take out place with dozens of different "restaurant" options just 2 blocks apart. Very affordable.

Check in was difficult. They asked to fill an online form and upload a picture of the ID of the person who made the reservation and the bank card which was used for payment -- and required the names to be matching for the ID and bank cards. Since we used my colleague's card (who was also traveling with us), this was an impossible puzzle to solve. There wasn't anyone on-site so this was stressful. Thankfully we used a virtual card for the reservation -- so we anyway could not upload a picture of the card as requested -- and after some phone calls and uploading the ID card they let us in.

The Butler Avenue apartment delivered a memorable stay with its choice location near vibrant Sawtelle Blvd, a hotspot for Japanese and Asian cuisine that became my go-to for meals and evening walks. I especially enjoyed the variety of restaurants and shops that made every day feel like a mini-adventure. The neighborhood also felt great for biking and walking, and Stoner Park nearby was perfect for a quick outdoor break. Easy access to transit and short drives to Santa Monica made exploring LA simple. A wonderful place to stay for city explorers and foodies alike.

Parking was convenient and fairly easy to access. Apartment is very spacious and has nice paintings on the wall. Kitchen works well and there were even complimentary detergent pads for the dishwasher.

Apartment is in a compound on the ground floor. Doesnt get a lot of natural light. Front bedroom is exposed to strong noise from the street and the entrance gate to the compound. Could hear the voice of the gate system and cars passing by all night. Couch fabric smells.
