This location is amazing. Just steps away from the beach and the miles-long paved path for biking and walking. The Santa Monica pier was a fun 15 mile ride down the path. (There are two bike rental businesses adjacent to the building.) The apartment was clean and full of the essentials (beach chairs, kitchen, big tvs in living area and bedroom). The host were extremely easy and responsive. The private parking spot made life easy. Other reviewers mentioned the party crowds as problematic for sleeping but we were there over the weekend, and although we could hear them on Friday and Sat night (it was quiet Sunday) it did not bother us or interfere with falling asleep at all. We feel lucky to have found this spot and would definitely stay there again.
