The location is great! Nice view of the beach from the window. Besides the beach, the apartment is also close to downtown Santa Monica, Venice and the metro to DTLA. The apartment itself is very small and worn but it works. The kitchen is a bit lacking with the freezer not working properly and only one very weak hot plate. The wifi is really bad and would disconnect at least once an hour, even after I asked Ninfa about it and the router was changed. Ninfa was very accomodating and helpful throughout my stay.
