Luhanda’s studio is the perfect place to stay in Santa Monica if you’re planning to be out and about exploring the area. Personally think it’s bigger than the photos show, nice view of the beach, comfortable & very clean rooms, two queen beds, and EASY free parking. You are a 2 minute walk from the Pier or beach and minutes away from many other things Santa Monica has to offer. Luhanda was quick to respond, patient when we had questions, and is very respectful of privacy. I would recommend bringing beach towels if you want to lay on the beach. (Full disclosure I didn’t ask Luhanda for one, so there may have been, but we didn’t find any and didn’t feel it was necessary to bother Luhanda with it.) Overall great place to call home-base while exploring the area!
