We had a wonderful time at Alex's place! It was our first trip to Santa Monica and this place didn't disappoint. It is located a few blocks to the beach, Santa Monica Pier, restaurants, and shopping. The apartment is sparkling clean, contained everything we needed, and is decorated with a peaceful "beachy" vibe. We didn't have the best weather and really would have enjoyed the adorable patio for hanging out after our day! I would recommend this place to everyone! It was a great value!
