I was expecting a funky hip artsy place, and got that (and just a little bit more) at Jeff's place. It was just an overnight stay for me (single, white, nearly-60 year-old male), and it was perfect; within walking distance to where I needed to be, and just blocks from the ocean. If you're looking for glitz and polish, this is not for you; but if you're looking for a comfortable, easy, space near everything Santa Monica has to offer, then book it if it's available!
