The beach is literally throwing distance from the apartment but without the noise of the promenade— kind of the best of both worlds. Walking distance to Abbott Kinney, the pier, the canals. Just an awesome location. Apartment has everything you need and is a decent size for a studio. Not crazy big but not a closet like you find so often in Manhattan. Excellent wifi, and recently renovated, which was nice too. Storage for clothing is limited but not really an issue, just something to be aware of for lengthy stays. I spent a month here and had no real issue. Overall I had a great stay and would book it again!
