Alina’s place is a great stay on the beach! Unit is compact but a good space with the basics you need. Great location next to the Santa Monica pier. Be advised that the front door to the building is on the beach and that the area can be loud and you must be on high alert at night/be cautious of your surroundings. Alona was a great host and the check in and out process is easy. Parking was also great -right beside the building so amazing location easy to get to everything LA has to offer.
