Great location! Great place for my 1 month stay. There is a Trader Joe’s AND a Whole Foods a block away. The apartment is a nice little bungalow on a quintessential Santa Monica street. It’s about a 25 min walk to the Ocean Ave/the beach (or 7 min scooter!).
Typically the weather in Santa Monica is perfect and you don’t need A/C. However during my stay the apartment got a little warm in the afternoons and early evenings.
The Hosts, Nina and Nicole, are super responsive. After mentioning the warm apartment temperature issue to Nina, I half expected her to drop off a portable unit or extra fan, but she had a crew come over and INSTALL an A/C unit into the wall in the bedroom. Wow!
The apartment is furnished enough for the basics. No extravagant cooking or anything like that, but everything you need is there. Would recommend.
