I cannot recommend this apartment enough. It is full of character and charm, with a really relaxing vibe. Communication with Suzanne was easy, and check in was a breeze. Gary showed us around the apartment, and even showed us a hidden short cut to the shops. The location is perfect for exploring santa monica on foot (or scooter) and the train into LA is only a short walk away. We really got a feel for Santa Monica staying at this apartment, and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
