Had a fantastic few days in Santa Monica, couldn't get a better location than Silvio's apartment across from the beach. Apartment was clean and pretty basic. Bed was comfortable. Great views of the sea and Santa Monica pier. Would be an ideal place to stay Sunday to Thursday but as was warned in the description it was incredibly loud on Saturday night. We hadn't anticipated the extent of the noise despite the warnings. Taking into account the noise we did feel it was maybe a bit expensive but other than that we would highly recommend it. Silvio was a great host, it was a very easy and smooth check in and check out and he was very responsive without any hassle.
