Location, location, location! The condo is near to everything in Santa Monica! Plenty of restaurants and great shopping nearby. Ocean/pier is an easy 3-4 blocks away. The unit is located on the corner of the building, close to the ground floor, and not super-well insulated from outside noise, so if city noise bothers you, I wouldn’t recommend. If you’re looking for a quick getaway for a few days and don’t mind the hustle and bustle, then it’s fine. Very clean and well-stocked with utensils and cookware. Again, can’t talk about how great the location is!!
