Location is very convenient if you like to take public transit, bike to Santa Monica Pier and even for a walk of you want to see the Santa Monica little bit more. Mariann and Mark are very friendly also their dog Sasha, they gave me great tips to learn local events and I actually went to one of them a d enjoyed it a lot (4th ot July fireworks). And to be honest I never had such a great breakfast in any Airbnbs in States or even in hotels!
