The geographical location is great! right at the corner of the Montana Street - which is full of trendy coffees and organic food places (e.g. the so called Kreation brand) - Laurie's small bedroom/studio is very convenient to reach most of the Santa Monica areas. For peoples travelling in cold season, the heating system looks from the previous century and can get very noisy but you cannot say it does not warm the place :).
The place was easy to reach and we said hello to each other from the garden prior reaching the front door code for late pm check-in.
There is the very minimum to live in here, hence i would recommend the place for short stay only
