I really enjoyed my stay here. Just a short walk across the road to get to the beach and pier. Great to start and end the day with a walk on the beach! The apartment itself is small but very well fitted out and decorated. With a large bed and a nice little table near the window to work/eat on. You probably want one of their other larger apartments if you plan on cooking, but I was mostly eating out so it was perfect for me. Ninfa, the property manager, was always very prompt, helpful and friendly - a real pleasure to deal with. The only small negative I could see is if you're a person that likes to lie in late in the morning then there is some occasional traffic noise outside from quite an early hour. But I'm an early riser anyway and didn't bother me at all, and the nights were always peaceful. In summary, had a great stay and when I return to Santa Monica would love to stay there again.
