The location is perfect. It is in the heart of Santa Monica and so close to everything! We truly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was clean and easy to access. It was exactly the space we needed for our short trip.
We were warned about the noise on weekends. It was really only a problem on Saturday. The restaurant below the apartment played very loud music that did create vibrations in the apartment until about 2am. If you are a night owl, this really should not be a problem. If you are staying on days outside of Saturday, it was not a problem at all! We had no problem with noise the rest of the trip.
