This is the perfect place for a solo traveler, especially if you do not have access to a car for your stay. It is walking distance to the beach, shops on Montana, and downtown Santa Monica (including farmers and flea markets). Apartment itself has everything for a short stay and to make quick meals (fridge/freezer, toaster oven, water heater). Hard to beat this location at the price point, but didn't feel like I was sacrificing quality for cost. Will definitely stay again if I am in the area!
