The apartment was clean and felt homely and comfortable. Every utensil you could possibly need was available. The bed was very comfortable. The beach and the pier were a short walk away. I spent the first few days of my trip alone and felt safe in the neighbourhood. There are shops nearby and an excellent cocktail bar 😀. I can highly recommend this apartment, I had a very enjoyable holiday there. Santa Monica is an excellent place to visit, the beach, pier, downtown. This is a perfect base to explore and enjoy Santa Monica and LA.
