We just moved into Casa de Marina, and overall we are pleased with the apartment. Nice finishes, granite countertops, and a refrigerator provided by the building are definite pluses. However, it is pet friendly, so expect the occasional barking dog early in the morning. Also, the community is very compact, and it is old, so you will hear you neighbors. Location is great, and it's an easy commute into DTLA or wherever you need to go.
