We enjoyed our stay at Blake's place for our anniversary. The location is fantastic, quiet, safe, and near both downtown Santa Monica and the pier. We even walked to the pier which was nice. Parking is a breeze! Also there's plenty of scooters/jump bikes around the next street or so over. The room itself is small, cozy, and very clean. Sometimes we heard footsteps in the actual house, but we it wasn't bothersome at all. We slept through the night just fine. There is a white noise machine in the room if that helps you sleep. The bed itself is also very, very comfortable! Firm yet soft--really can't describe it any other way... Also, there's a nice keurig machine and we had a few cups of coffee while watching TV when we weren't out and about. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!
