We were initially hesitant to book bc it’s listed as a private room, but other than 20 ft down a hallway we had lots of privacy and all the amenities we needed for our trip! The unit is an entirely private sitting room and bedroom with lots of small convenient touches to make our stay run smoothly. You can hear other tenants through the walls but everyone was quiet and respectful. If you don’t mind walking it’s 30-40 mins down to the beach and Santa Monica pier. We waked all over and enjoyed it. Highly recommend for budget travelers especially if you don’t mind staying in a quieter space than downtown Santa Monica. We would definitely book again next time we’re in the area! Beth was very friendly and accommodating.
