We had a great stay in Santa Monica, the best thing about the place is it's location, it's quite basic but has got everything you need and was perfect for us to use as a base while we looked for a more permanent rental in the area. We happened to stay during a heat wave and while the air con in the living space was great, the bedrooms were super hot! But we understand it was very unseasonable for it to be that hot and humid in SM. We found the beds incredibly firm and uncomfortable, but some people like a firm mattress. I would definitely recommend this apartment.
