The location of Trent and Nick’s place CANNOT be beat. You open the front door and you can see the ocean down the short block! It doesn’t even take 3 minutes to get to the stairs to the beach, which was great for me because I was on foot the whole time. If the beautiful Santa Monica beach is why you came, this is the place!
There are a lot of bikes rentals very nearby from bike rental companies, Lime bike or Lyft bikes, but I never even needed one because it’s so close to everything, including Main Street which was full of great cafes, shops, restaurants of every kind. So convenient! Yet, it’s still on a cozy, beautiful small side street so although it’s right next to the beach and close to Main Street, it’s quiet, quieter than I expected, honestly. It’s a stand alone building so it doesn’t share walls with any others and felt very private.
The apartment is so full of charm and character with built-in furniture (I loved the arched breakfast nook!) that’s all painted a cream-white for a great aesthetic. Great WiFi, huge tv, comfy bed, tons of beach towels and the fridge is even stocked with beer and hard seltzer (which I appreciate as someone who is gluten free). Bonus!
The check-in/out was easy and potentially most important, the host was super available even though he was on east coast time, very accommodating and helpful! He definitely went the extra mile to help me with anything I needed.
I look forward to staying here again!!
