Location, location, location! This airbnb is perfectly located less than a block from the beach and about 1/4 mile from all the best shopping and restaurants in Santa Monica. As other reviews mention, you can clearly hear footsteps and conversations in the unit above but it's not a deal breaker. Unfortunately during our stay there was major construction in the upstairs unit we were unaware would be taking place. Coupled with slow wifi, this rendered the unit unusable for remote working.
This is a beach go-er and foodie's dream airbnb but not recommended for digital nomads.
