The location is SPOT ON! I love the fact that they are pet friendly, makes me what to book again to take our pooch! There are so many places to eat within walking distance. A lot of scooters you could jump on and whisk yourself away to explore the city. The beds and room are as pictured. Comes with a mini fridge which is a plus as well as a safe to keep your things locked up while your away from the room. We ordered Postmates late at night for some donuts and even snuck out to the pier at night to hear the waves crash and see the Santa Monica Ferris wheel all lit up! I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a mini getaway trip, it truly feels like you are somewhere else with the convenience of everything and the fact that the beach is accessible at any time is a huge plus!!
