Good location right in the heart of Santa Monica. The studio was well equipped with a nice view of the ocean and boardwalk. The host allowed me to check in a couple hours early to accommodate my work schedule, which was really nice.
The street noise at night is significant. There is no air conditioner, so we had to leave our windows open all night, making it difficult to ignore the noise from the bar downstairs and from the street. Communication was a little difficult. We were here during a heat wave, and requested a fan, but never got any response to our Airbnb messages. I called the main hotel number (this is technically a hotel? but no concierge or front desk), and they acknowledged they got my message about the fan and were working on it, but then I never heard anything back.
I probably wouldn’t stay here again in warmer months.
