This place is in a great location - walking distance to the Santa Monica pier and restaurants. Reasons to stay here: cleanliness, responsive host, simple check-in and check-out, available parking, location (the beach is less than a mile), Urth cafe (for really good coffee). The decor is simple and perfect for utility. It is a little cool in the bedroom even with the heat on if you are cold-natured. We had an absolutely fabulous stay: great sunshine, walking distance to explore local venues, super easy to communicate with the host, and the place was CLEAN! I will consider staying here again on my next trip to L.A.
