Loved the location of the place. It was a block away from the pier and right next to many local eateries. The unit itself was a bit dated, but fine for us. The set up of the unit made the space feel much larger. Lauren was an excellent host and was in constant communication with us to make sure we did not need anything. Hotel staff was also kind and helpful. They checked up on us as well. As others have said, it does get loud, which did not bother us. It is to be expected being in the heart of Santa Monica. Overall, great place and would totally recommend.
