Aina was a very nice and considerate host. The apartment is comfortable and in a great location. Unlike the rest of Los Angeles, Santa Monica's attractions are all walking distance of each other. Aina's apartment is a short stroll from the beach and the shops on 3rd street. If you have a car, most of the tourist action in LA is west of downtown which Santa Monica is handy for. Having secure parking is also big bonus. After staying in hotels for week it was nice to stay in a place that felt like home.
