My friend and I stayed at Dee's place at Santa Monica for 3 nights and we had a great time. The bedroom was well prepared like a high end hotel with snacks and water bottles and the bathroom was well stocked with towels. The bed was very comfortable to sleep on too. Dee was a friendly, helpful and gracious host. The neighborhood is cool and quiet and it's 15-20 minutes walk away from the beach. I'd recommend staying with Dee's when visiting Santa Monica.
