The apartment is in a fantastic location for exploring Santa Monica, just a few blocks from the front and the main shopping/restaurant streets. The guest room is very comfortable (excellent bed) and Liz has thought of so many extra touches for her guests such as beach towels. The off street parking is also very convenient.
The two dogs are very sweet and the apartment is spotlessly clean but the only downside is that unfortunately it does smell of dog, even in the guest bedroom (although the dogs are strictly not allowed in there and Liz has provided an air filter machine if needed).
Overall a good stay though :)
