Gabriel was a great host! Easy check in and good communication. You’re definitely in the heart of downtown Santa Monica shopping but it does quiet down quite a bit at night and a lot of places close early. Lots of parking garages nearby, not the cheapest but also not too exorbitant, especially for how easy it was to find a spot. The room was really clean and two nice TVs, ready to connect for streaming. I wouldn’t exactly call it luxury, but it was totally good if you’re going to be out most of the day - we had relaxing nights at the place and it was nice to be able to easily store and heat up leftovers.
