We absolutely LOVED this little studio apartment. You cannot beat the location for this price. We walked everywhere and had no need for a vehicle. Bar and grill right below us, amazing pizza joint and tiny store where you can buy beer, liquor, water, etc. just steps out the door. The kitchenette was perfect for our 3 night stay. As mentioned in Silvio's description the bar below does generate a ton of noise at night, so if you are looking for a peaceful night sleep do not stay here! We did not mind it for the most part, but I sleep with ear plugs all the time anyways. We will be staying here again on our next trip to Santa Monica for sure.
