Great place! It's perfect for people who do not plan on spending much time at the Airbnb. Very close to the beach which is a big win.it is a little far away from the "exciting" part of Santa Monica, however it is still walkable. The walk to the 3rd Street Promenade is beautiful. The host allowed us to check-in early since we had an early flight. They also provided a bottle of wine and some snacks. They were super friendly.
