Recommended and Five Stars. My wife and two young boys stayed at Nadia's for three nights. It is a very new 2BR/2BA apartment well-located in Santa Monica. We walked to the Pier and the Third Street Promenade every day. The neighborhood and building were safe and secure, and this Airbnb unit is an excellent alternative to a hotel. Nadia was responsive in taking care of a few requests, and we enjoyed staying there so much that we plan to stay there again soon. There were no noise issues or dog barking sounds detectable in this unit. The views out of the windows are across the alley and facing other apartment units, so we kept the blinds closed at night.
