We stopped in Santa Monica for a couple of days on our way to Hawaii and our short stay couldn't have been better in large part to Darlene's wonderful hospitality. The place is very clean and cozy, quaint and private. It is well located close to the beach, yet removed just enough to provide a break from the commotion on the beach strip.
Darlene is a wonderful host, and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. She is warm and welcoming, and communication was easy and quick throughout the whole process.
I would definitely recommend her place to anyone wanting to stay in the area, and also hope we can go back in the future.
