Absolutely fantastic place. The location was great. It's easily walkable to the beach, main street, Abbot Kinney, etc. It's slightly separated from downtown Santa Monica by a big empty parking lot near Pico Blvd, so it's not as pleasant to walk there and we would drive or Uber if we were headed in that direction. David provides a book full of local recommendations that was super helpful. Parking was surprisingly easy, but please pay close attention to the signs!! We got a $64 ticket because we failed to notice a sign that was obscured by tree branches.
