Mariah’s Santa Monica apartment was lovely and just as pictured and described! She was extremely responsive both before and after check-in. The apartment is located in a nice building within walking distance to many bars, restaurants and shopping. You definitely don’t need a car unless you plan to explore outside of Santa Monica. You’re about a 10 min walk to the pier and beach with lots to do. The apartment had everything we needed including basics for cooking, a steamer, washer dryer etc. I’d highly recommend this Airbnb!
