This was a wonderful experience––I don't know where to start!
You can take a ~5 minute walk to just about any attraction in downtown Santa Monica. Great bars and restaurants all around. This is really the spot to be if you want to experience all that Santa Monica has to offer.
The beach and Santa Monica Pier are also walking distance and offer beautiful places to relax with friends and family, or workout at the famous Muscle Beach, if that's your style.
The unit was in excellent condition when I arrived: Clean, luxurious, and also offering a balance of privacy and access to 3rd Street Promenade.
Mike was courteous throughout the stay, as well.
This is definitely the spot to be if you are looking for a luxurious and fun weekend in Southern California.
