My stay at Sam's apartment was lovely. The location is great! I took long walks down the beach. The area is safe and convenient to all. The apartment is very nice and the views beautiful. Sam keeps the apartment neat and clean. The pool and hot tub are nice extras. Sam is pleasant, responsive and the booking was easy. Close to Santa Monica pier and to bike and car rentals. This is the second time I have stayed at Sam's apartment and I have enjoyed both times. I would not hesitate to recommend booking with Sam.
