Nice location right opposite the Santa Monica beach but the noise from the traffic on the Pacific Coast Hiway may disturb light sleepers and during the day especially it is pretty hefty. Very handy though for Santa Monica and all points down the Malibu coast. And a great "back roads" drive into LA via the very start of the Sunset Boulevard which start begins nearby. A clean and comfortable apartment though the television was not working and was not fixed while we were there, not that that was very important. Breakfasts were great, 11 dollars' worth for each of the first 2 guests is already included in the price.
