I had a great stay at Leto’s place. The location was two blocks from Ocean Ave, walking distance to the pier, and off the Third Street Promenade. It is the perfect location. There’s restaurants, bars, coffee, bank and shopping all near by. The Farmer’s Market is right outside the window Saturday AM for fruits, veg and baked goods, and some music. It gets noisy during the day and evening, but everything quieted down around 10 PM.
The unit was very clean, check in was easy and I was able to unload my luggage - street parking in front of building - before bringing my car to the garage. There are plenty of e-bikes, and scooters around. I didn’t really need a car unless I wanted to leave Santa Monica. This wasn’t far from Montana Ave. either (30 minute walk) which has a Whole Foods, and more shopping and restaurants.
