We had a great stay in Santa Monica at Suzanne's location. We never met Suzanne but was quick to respond to messages. GREAT LOCATION! Only a 15 minute walk to Santa Monica Pier and we also walked to/from Venice Beach. There's a few breakfast & lunch spots right around the corner as well.
Only negative was the no A/C. We must have missed that memo in the listing because the apartment was hot during the day w/ windows open & fan on, but night time it was cool enough to sleep.
Overall, good value and I would recommend again!
