Totally cute studio in the Sunset Park area of Santa Monica. Very tastefully decorated and very clean. I especially liked the rustic bed frame and llama art. Spacious -- vaulted ceilings made it feel even more lofty and perfect little private patio with table and chairs a step outside. Lots of windows creates a nice cross breeze, so place felt cool throughout the night. Very quiet neighborhood and property. Bed was extremely comfortable and I had no problem falling asleep and staying asleep. Bathroom fully equipped with good quality hand soap, shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner. Though I did not use the kitchen much, it is well-equipped with standard kitchenware and basic pantry items if you want to cook.
If you aren't familiar with the area, it is very walkable to some good restaurants and coffee shops, and it is very close to the 10 freeway. Lots of street parking, but be sure to read the street signs. Parking permit provided by host was much appreciated. You need to run the permit back up to the studio upon checkout, but I just loaded my car up and put my hazards on before I ran back to return the permit. I suggest doing so because Santa Monica traffic cops are notorious for ticketing unpermitted cars.
Host was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. Check-in/out instructions were clear and easy to follow.
I would absolutely recommend staying here and will definitely look to see if it's available the next time I stay in Santa Monica. Thank you so much!
