My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Marnie's place in Santa Monica. The location is a short walk to the beach and Main street and close to Venice as well. The apartment building is located on a very hilly street so something to keep in mind when walking / biking back to the place from the beach. Marnie's place was very clean and quiet and the instructions for check-in and check out were very informative and clear. Also, as Marnie mentioned in her listing, the apartment does not have AC so if there are any really hot days, just be aware it may be warm in the apartment but the breeze from the patio door and fans help.
