We were pleasantly surprised with how large the rooms were and how nice the apartment was. Our wonderful hosts greeted us with wine, chocolate, bagels, etc! The beds were comfortable and it was great to have a washer and dryer in the unit. The location is central to anywhere you might want to visit in Santa Monica or LA. It's an older building , but the unit is updated and very clean. We were happy to have 2 secure underground parking places. We will definite use Jeff and Shannon's place again!!
