We stayed at Darlene's beach hut for 4 nights and our experience could not have been better. From the very beginning Darlene was warm and welcoming and even made us banana muffins for our arrival which was so thoughtful! The beach hut is in a quiet neighbourhood but very central for explorig Santa Monica and is only a 15 min walk from the beach. Darlene gave us great tips for where to go/what to do and we both agree this has been our favourite air b n b stay so far and we've been to lots! Darlene also let use her BBQ one night which was very kind and a great way to spend a quiet night in!
