I am a student and stayed here for three months while doing an internship. An ideal location, positioned in a quiet neighborhood, but only minutes (on foot) from the beach, groceries, great restaurants/bars, and shopping. Also just under a 20 minute walk from the Santa Monica Pier and 3rd St. Promenade, so a car is hardly necessary, but there is a parking pass included with the apartment as well. The apartment was very clean and had everything, including fast wifi, a TV with fully loaded cable (HBO, etc.), and all necessary kitchen appliances, pots/pans, as well as extra towels and bedding. John, the owner, was very accessible and accommodating, but not intrusive in any way. I found everything on this listing to be accurate, and if anything, to even undersell the great location of this place. All in all a great stay, and highly recommended.

My husband and I spent 2 months in this lovely studio apartment. We were in Santa Monica to visit our children and Grandchildren. It was a great location. Everything was in walking distance, shops, restaurants, the beach, grocery store, etc and our children were just a short bus ride away. The location was so good we did not need a car. The apartment was well equipped, very clean and everything we were told it would be. John, the owner, was very helpful and accommodating. We highly recommend it and hope to stay there again this year.

My wife and I are just about to leave this delightful studio after a wonderful one month stay. We recommend this listing very highly. The studio was super clean and comfortable and it was equipped with every possible item one could need (e.g., garlic press, toaster, food processor, etc.). The wifi was really fast and the TV had so many channels. The owner took excellent care of us, providing a parking permit and being available whenever we had questions while not being intrusive at all. The studio is just a tiny walk to the beach and the weather in California entices you to take that walk daily. Access to the bus was very convenient and it is only a short walk to the center of Santa Monica for shopping, restaurants, cinema, etc. Overall we were completely satisfied and would return to the exact same place next time if our situation permits.
