If I could sum up the place and Darlene in one word it would be: phenomenal.
The small little touches Darlene made in the space are noticed as soon as you walk in the door: with fresh banana muffins(to die for) and the little touches continue to present themselves throughout your stay including every toiletry you could think to need and more(like for me, there was a face mask I got to enjoy that was left in the cabinet). In the kitchen she has every appliance necessary, refreshing lemon/mint water in the fridge along with beer, creamers, coffee, and some cereal. The bed and couch were super comfy and the blankets were ideal.
Darlene has beach items if that's what you want to do, a book full of recommendations in the area and a large TV to enjoy at night. The space is large for 2-4 people and the location is so quaint with beautiful homes throughout the neighborhood which is located a short mile walk from the beach.
The stay was more than my mom and I expected and being my mom's first time in LA, it made a really huge impact on our overall enjoyment of the weekend.
Darlene was extremely welcoming from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. She is extremely responsive and her dogs (and décor) are so adorable! I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Anyone thinking to book-commit, you won’t regret it. The price is perfect and the accommodations are supurb. I can’t imagine how anyone can rate her less than 5 stars! Thank you Darlene for an unforgettable stay!
