This is perfect-for the traveler who wants to be close to the beach! Jones was amazingly helpful-We were only sorry that we didn't get to meet him. It was a roomy enough studio apt. for myself and three grown children. It has an unusual entrance on a busy corner-that was clearly identified in the listing=which allows you to access the beach thru a tunnel. I wouldn't recommend accessing the tunnel at night though! It is within walking distance [a lovely long beach walk] to downtown Santa Monica. Excellent price and just what we needed for our last two nights of travel!
