This wonderful studio is located in a building that is simply lovely: I was amazed by the internal patio & its garden. The entire building is very well kept and the location is just amazing: it's ca.10 minutes walk from the Ocean Av. with all its attractions + the Sta. Monica Pier itself, but it's sufficiently far away from that touristy zone for the guests not to be bothered by any noisy crowd. Also, as I partly worked from home, I considered the silence in the place and around it a big plus. The apartment itself has all amenities one needs and the bed was incredibly comfortable. If I come back to Sta. Monica for holidays or work, I'll certainly check Nina's listings again.
