We really enjoyed our stay in Santa Monica. The place was very cute - just like the pictures. Even though there was no direct beach access, it was an easy walk around the building. The bedrooms were comfortable and everything was very clean. There was a fair amount of noise from PCH, but that was to be expected.
We really enjoyed the bikes provided - they were in great condition and easy to ride. We didn't end up using the kitchen very much, but it appeared well appointed.
I recommend this place very highly and would stay there again.
