We stayed here on a trip to the LA area where we split our time between Santa Monica and West Hollywood. Staying here during our time in Santa Monica worked out very well, the location is great. It is basically like staying in a hotel room as there is just the one room with a sink and a shower/toilet, and it is located above a garage. Things were clean if a little dingy - we felt comfortable and it suited our needs just fine. Laurie was communicative prior to check-in and provided a lot of helpful information. The area was very safe and quiet, and parking was very easy.
