We had an amazing time at Martha’s place in Santa Monica! We stayed for 3 nights with my wife and 7-month-old son. The apartment was very clean, cosy, quiet and beautiful. The location was perfect too, near public transport and not far from the attractions in Santa Monica. It is also a perfect spot should you wish to drive towards San Francisco on the Pacific Coast Highway as you avoid driving through LA.
Martha arranged everything we asked for and beyond, she stored our baggages and kindly allowed us to check in early (we had a very early flight) and check out late (issues with the car rental company). Martha even gave us snacks upon our departure - very thoughtful.
We can only recommend staying at her place and hope we can return someday.
Thank you Martha for being a wonderful host!
