The location really cannot be beat! It is just far enough away from Santa Monica Pier that it doesn’t feel too busy but close enough to get there by a bird scooter or Uber! The previous reviews gave us a heads up on the noise from the street, which is considerable but didn’t bother me or my boyfriend as we are heavy sleepers. The breakfast at Patrick’s roadhouse was a really nice touch and very delicious! The draw backs of this unit were: cleanliness (there was an inch of dust on the fan blades and mold in the shower,) and the room was unbearably hot at check in as the AC unit wasn’t hooked up and all the windows were closed. Once we got the place cooled off and the fan dusted we were happy with the apartment! We would definitely stay here again!
