We loved our stay at Barbara’s place! You can’t get much closer to the beach for the price. There are tons of places to eat nearby and the Santa Monica pier is just a short bike ride away. Parking may require a bit of patience but I think the furthest we had to park away was maybe 4 blocks - not a big deal for us at all! The space was very clean and perfectly sized for 2 people. The AC was much appreciated as well. The bathroom isn’t huge but I am 6’4” and didn’t have any problems besides needing to crouch a little for the shower. I would definitely recommend Barbara’s place!
