David's place was really convenient -- easy to check in/out, nice location, elevator and parking, stocked with some food, and hot water pressure was great. There is a platinum record framed on the wall and that was super interesting. As some other reviews mentioned, there is a mysterious loud humming noise and vibration throughout the building, especially at night. That can make it a little hard to get a good rest. Otherwise, the building was quiet and we didn't hear any noise from the neighbors. I also really appreciated that I was able to stay with my small dog here. There is a Target/CVS one block away that you can bring your dog into, which was convenient too. I would recommend David's place to anyone visiting Santa Monica, especially with a dog.
