Well I can’t stress this enough : this Airbnb is perfection.
First, the location is great, we were there mid august and we never struggled with the traffic, it seemed like Santa Monica was always in the opposite direction of traffic.
Then, you can have a run on the Santa Monica Beach it’s just a 5min run from the flat, we really appreciated that. By foot, it’s a bit more far away to walk to the Santa Monica peer but it’s a very short drive though, and it’s still doable by foot if you’re motivated enough.
Second, the flat itself is great, it has this « cocoon » atmosphere, has so many windows that it’s always bright and sunny, and as far as we were concerned we enjoyed the view very much (on trees and on Los Angeles). The bed is confortable (a bit smaller than a queen size I would say but it’s completely fine for 2 persons (and we are tall). You can hear the cars on the street but it’s honestly not loud enough to be a problem.
We will come back to that flat without any doubt !
