Mm was a fantastic host. She even gave me a beer and mango as a welcome gift. And had a nice smelling candle in the guest room for me to use. In general her apartment is very clean and super cute. She has little plants growing in glass tubes hanging everywhere which I loved. They are still very new, but Mm I am sure that they will grow out beautifully!
Her place is really conveniently located. A short easy walk to the beach and 3rd St Promenade / nightlife which was great.
The only problem I had was parking. It’s totally not Mm’s fault, but like others said Santa Monica is very quick with their parking tickets. You can’t park in her area after 6pm without a visitor parking permit, which Mm was nice enough to provide. But in the 15 min I took to go up to her apartment to retrieve the permit and come back down they already ticketed me! I am contesting it, which Santa Monica actually make pretty easy to do online, but haven’t heard back yet 🤞🏻. Anyway if you are arriving with a car after 6pm be careful!
