The apartment is located ideally near to the beach and Santa Monica pear. We felt safe in the environment and were happy to feel home. The apartment A is not big, but it was spacious enough for the 5 of us (2 parents, 3 teenagers). The bedroom on the ground floor was a little noisy during Saturday night (the other nights were OK) - the bedroom in the basement has not much daylight, which is good for sleeping though. We were happy to have 2 bathrooms! Towels etc. were all there. There are a lot of bikes available for free - not in best conditions, but fair enough for the beach evening ride. Would book again.
