The localization is very good, right next to the Santa Monica Pier and the main places you'll visit. However, we noticed some problems: there is no elevator and it can be a problem if you are with big and heavy luggages (my case). Besides it, the aparment was full of cockroaches, there was a noisy equipment beside the bed and the bath tap was broken. Anyway, I believe it worth it, because we (me and my bestfriend) didn't stay at apartment all day, we just used it to sleep - Santa Monica has so many great places that we wanted to visit!
