This is THE place to stay in Santa Monica..for the money you can't get a better location. Walking distance to 3rd St. Promanade..which has everything a traveler might need or want! Simply cross the street and you're on the beach or the Pier. The bed was cozy and the Apt. very spacvious! There was 'city noise' as well as vibrations from ventilation system, but simply put ,was NOT an issue. I hardly noticed either. This was my 1st experience with AirBNB and it was really nice! And that was because Silvio was always right there if I needed anything! Thank you Silvio for a great experience!!
