I stayed here for 2 nights and found the location perfect for my stay. It was blocks away from the Pier and ocean and walkable to both the Promenade and Main Street, both of which had great shops and restaurants. Hadia was super friendly and was very responsive to communication. Check-in and out was super easy and she left great recommendations for coffee and shopping and going out, which was perfect since I was unfamiliar with the area. I would def recommend this place for a Santa Monica getaway. Kim
