The location of this apartment can't be beat! It is seconds away from the beach, Santa Monica Pier, dining, and shopping. We could easily walk to everything that we needed. The apartment was essentially a master suite; it contained a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette (fridge, toaster oven, sink). The size was perfect for us, but would be tight for more than two. Furnishings and linens were disappointing; everything was very clean, but the bed felt old, and the towels and sheets were low quality and didn't match. Bathroom was nice - clean and updated. The apartment grounds, which include a garden area, are very cute. There was quite a bit of street and neighbor noise, mostly just pedestrian noises or trucks delivering to the pier. One day a neighbor had very loud music, but we weren't staying inside during the day anyway, so it was a nonissue. All in all, while it wasn't hotel living, we enjoyed our stay. The location and price are phenomenal and after staying there for a few days, it really started to feel like home. The owners and property manager were very kind and helpful and helped to make our vacation great.
