The photos are accurate but a few notes from my experience to help you make your decision:
PROS
-You park at the nursery at the bottom of the street. One of the most gorgeous nurseries I have ever seen.
-Indeed you are just across PCH from Santa Monica beach (although this particular part of the beach has an unfortunate drain pipe, so avoid that)
-Spacious for a studio with comfortable amenities. Wifi worked great.
CONS
-The 1st floor unit is located on a busy street at a pretty hectic intersection. The unit doesn't dampen this noise too well. The only window you could open was above the front door, which really let the noise in. A friendly/innocuous but homeless man was hanging out within 15 feet of the front door. I wouldn't say it's a cozy/safe location, and the heavy metal barring of all the windows/doors wasn't comforting.
-The unit felt damp and I would have liked better air circulation/dehumidification.
-Bed was very uncomfortable. The mattress sagged towards the middle pretty badly and the entire bed was squeaky.
-Could have been cleaner--floors were not barefoot friendly.
OVERALL
The price was obviously the biggest advantage given the rates of nearby hotels. But I still felt the price was too much for this place. If price + beach access are your main concerns, this is a great find.
