The best deal you'll find for a Studio in all of Isla Vista.

I lived here for 6 months as a graduate student wrapping up my PhD and don't have a single complaint. Perfect spot if you like to go surfing everyday, as well as living close to campus for work/studying at night. There is an amazing community of foreign and local undegrads, grad students and postdocs as neighbors. Felipe (the resident manager) makes sure that everyone living at the complex is nice and respectful. Overall the complex is very safe. The ventilation issue can be solved with an air purifier and/or a fan (coming from someone who is quite sensitive and has allergies) -- this was never an issue for me after using a Dyson Air Purifier. Central spot in IV, also ideal for visiting/exchange students, as the studios come furnished and clean.
