Can’t ask for a better location as you are a block from the beach. The host was very nice and the check in directions were precise and check in process very easy. The room is in the basement, and while the host was quiet, you could hear them walking around upstairs. If I was in town for holiday, this would be a solid place as the location is one of the best in Santa Monica. The issues I had were that the WiFi was spotty which was an issue for me as I was there for work and the WiFi made it difficult at times to work. Also, while not necessarily the hosts fault, an electrician had to come down to fix something which happened to be when I was in the middle of getting ready for a meeting. Lastly, there was a leaking pipe behind the bed which created a nice sized puddle at the side of the bed. All in all, for the price they charge, I expected more, but if you’re in town for holiday, it’s not a bad place to choose. I wouldn’t however recommend staying here for work.
