Great location, close proximity to the beach, Santa Monica freeway, and the 405. I always stay in Santa Monica, or Venice as it's great jumping off point, for Malibu, the airport, Hollywood etc. There were great beach towels, and pretty much everything we needed for our stay. We didn't cook, but we could have as there was pretty much everything we needed if we wanted to do so. The space was clean and contemporary and the bed comfy. Rebecca was easy to communicate with and available if we needed something (which we did not). Check in was simple. Someone noted this is a renovated garage. It is. This didn't pose a problem for us, as from the inside it looked like any other studio. It does enter off an alley, but having a place to park our rental was helpful so that was a non issue. Overall a great stay.
