Positives: great location near lots of interesting eating options and the beach (and Santa Monica is a great area of LA). A nice little courtyard. It's actually a separate bungalow rather than a private room in a house so the whole space is your own. Decent mattress and shower.

Not so positives: Unstable wifi (if you can get it to work at all), with incorrect instructions and little help to sort it out. Wasn't very clean. No real place to sit and relax inside (there are bar stools but no chairs). The "TV" only plays DVDs (if you want this - I personally wasn't there to watch TV).
