This place is awesome, I had a show to see at the Wiltern theater, was a five min walk to catch the bus took me right to Beverly hills.... There are a few coffee shop/cafes within 5 min walk . Also within 5 mins is a 7/11 and an amazing doughnut shop. The train transit is 2 min walk. If your staying in Santa Monica or have things to do in west la .. stay here......you won't regret it. . also Claudia the host is amazing
