Cara's place was beyond lovely for our 4-night stay in Santa Monica. We were two college students looking to explore LA but stay near the beach, and the location was ideal. A pleasant 15 minute walk to shopping, biking at the pier, and tons of restaurants and coffee shops that we took advantage of. The apartment itself was warm, feminine, and cozy and everything was extremely clean! We especially appreciated the little touches like the fuzzy blanket and the stocked Keurig. And of course, the fragrant and enchanting garden was ideal to start the day in and come back to at night. Cara was an extremely kind and communicative host, and I will definitely make sure to try to stay at one of her properties again upon returning to California!
