I was pleasantly surpised with the accommodations. The updated wood floors were great.
You can't beat the location in Santa Monica. Walking distance to the Promenade and tons of eateries. Very simple to access the building and room. I would drop things off from the beach and head out to eat or shop.
Read reviews about the noise and I did not notice a thing at night. I stayed through Memorial Day Weekend and the restaurant below was never an issue. I had the AC most of the time but still did not hear anything or feel vibrations from music, so don't let that dissaude you from renting.
Rental comes with plenty of towels and the main bed was comfortable.
If you are keeping your trip local there is no need for a car. Bird scooters can get you around quickly or an Uber can get you farther distances.
