The location of this studio apartment is nearly perfect. It has an ocean view and is right in the heart of lively Santa Monica. The beach, Santa Monica Pier, and shopping are all within easy walking distance. However, the apartment is basic and spare. It was warm with little ventilation and no screens on the windows. Primarily, however, it is noisy as it sits atop a very lively bar. For people who can ignore noise and enjoy the late night scene, it could work very well.
