It was a great, centrally located Place. Lots of room for me and my two friends. Comfortably equipped and simply decorated. It would be nice to have one more comfortable chair in the living room. However we had a great time visiting Santa Monica, and this was such a cozy place to stay! If you plan on going to the beach bring beach towels! the kitchen has all the basics. Although I couldn't figure out how to use their microwave!
