I only stayed for one night but the location was great I personally rented a bird (scooter thing) and from Claudia's apartment its only 15 streets from the santa Monica pier so when i used the bird it only took 10 min or so to get to the ocean and cost around $6. If you get hungry and like sushi I would recommend Noma i had it for dinner the one night i stayed and it was excellent( try the baby lobster roll). The place its self was very nice Claudia met me at the house at 11:45 to show me around the place she was very polite and she had more items in the bathroom for people to use than any other airbnb ive ever used the water pressure isnt that great in the shower but I've honestly never stayed anywhere in LA that had that great of water pressure but im picky and like a strong shower most people probably wouldn't mind. I'd definitely recommend staying at her place if you are trying to find a place that decently close to the ocean(15 streets).
