This location was perfect for our stay in Santa Monica! It was in a nice area and close enough to ride bikes/ take public transit/ uber or even drive to the pier or third street promenade. It would be about a 30 minute if you wanted to walk. But only about a 12 minute bike ride :) they have 2 bikes! We didnt use them, we just ubered to save stress with parking. It was nice to not be downtown in the middle of the hustle and bustle by close enough! The place was nice and clean. The hosts Mark and Marianne were sooo nice and friendly but gave us our space. Their dog is super friendly and we enjoyed her around :) the room has water, coffee, and a tv with cable and Netflix which was so nice for us :) the bed was super comfy and it was perfect for my mom and I. You can't beat the price in the area for what you get and they even made us breakfast when we woke up. Homemade Croissants, fruit, and juice! Would definitely recommend this place :) and if we are ever in the area we will stay again!
