Had a great stay in Santa Monica. Perfect for solo travel or a couple. Studio is pictured as described. Hosts were very responsive to questions/requests. Kitchen is very well equipped for a studio. Bed was comfortable and super easy to set up. Parking was not an issue for us. The hot tub was fantastic, especially after were rode 32 miles round trip from SM to Manhattan Beach. If you decide to do what we did, get electric bikes! :-) The studio is located in a nice residential neighborhood about 2 miles from the beach. However, you are in the flight path of SM airport, so planes are going all day long and it is noisy at times.
