Great location, reasonably quiet street considering how close it is to a Main Street. Was within walking distance to the beach. Also wasn't too far to walk to Venice Beach or Santa Monica Pier, I enjoyed the walk but there was a bus very close you could get too. Annie is lovely, very considerate and generous. She was also very accommodating and helpful with any questions I had. As a solo traveller she made me feel welcome but was also mindful of my privacy, I felt like I was staying with friends. If I'm ever back in Santa Monica I would definitely stay there again!
