Great location - only 2 blocks from the ocean and right in downtown Santa Monica. Is a great & simple place to stay; total no frills but clean & renovated studio. It is right on the second floor of a busy corner so it was pretty loud with not a ton of privacy (you just have to keep the blinds closed the whole time). But again - it was very clean and perfect for our quick last minute tirp. We were able to book last minute and communication was very clear.
