1) This is a very nice apartment, clean, comfortable and well-appointed. There are two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. We slept well.
2) The location Santa Monica is outstanding. The Santa Monica Pier and the beach are a short, pleasant walk. Shopping and restaurants are even closer. You could spend a long weekend here without getting in the car. However, other beaches, like Venice Beach, are a short drive away.
3) Finally, Penny is an outstanding host. She is very responsive and helpful, and makes you feel at home.
