This place is just as advertised, its neat, clean, quite and functional. The street its on is not high traffic it is perfect for biking or running to the beach as its a straight shot directly to Palisades Park right on the beach a little over a mile down the street. It's mostly residential but you can walk to Whole Foods a few blocks away, a super market and a few restaurants. Everything else in town is only a short drive away. Parking is kind of around the corner from the entry, but you can unload at the entry then park. It's a place I would stay at again should I be back in town for another visit and it is a terrific value for Santa Monica where expensive is just the excepted norm for visitors. No issues with host correspondences, she was prompt and courteous regarding all inquiries.
