The place was just as described and it was exactly what we were looking. Be forewarned, the place is right next to Pacific Coast Highway, so it is noisy all day till around 10pm. We already new this and it was no problem for us. I loved the fact that we could get breakfast right down stairs. Santa Monica Pier is just a short drive away and the beach is right in front of the apartment, that was the biggest selling point for us. Anthony was very quick in responding to my messages before we arrived. Even though the apartment didn't have AC, it wasn't needed because a large fan is provided and the weather is not too hot (high temp was 80 when we were there). We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the apartment.
