Very easy check in and out and a great little studio room close to a range of public transport options to get around. Santa Monica is a good base to explore that side of LA from and a nice neighbourhood without some of the dramas of other areas. The place is good for a few nights stay for a single person or couple. There is a Whole Foods and Trader Joes about 20 minutes walk away for supplies should you need any. Lots of eateries about for those eating out.
