The studio was clean and more spacious than I thought it would be. It was really cute and the view of the ocean was lovely. We loved having a stocked kitchen and plenty of essential supplies. However, the beach towels were wet in the washer when we arrived so we couldn't use them right away. The location is really in the heart of Santa Monica and we were so close to everything! It was super convenient to be right in the action, however, it is loud at night, especially since there's no air conditioning we had to keep a window open, so if you're looking for a quiet place to sleep early this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a cute and fun place close to everything and you're more of a night owl, then this is perfect!
Some other recommendations when staying here: Keep the window without a screen closed or else flies can come in. If you're using the parking pass, it can be difficult to find parking at peak times as many of the lots can fill up, especially the smaller ones.
