The Apartment was clean and airy, with a very private feel even though you're in the same apartment as the host. My wife and I felt like we had plenty of space.
The apartment is a 5-8 minute walk to the beach, 15 minutes to the Santa Monica pier.
Liz, the host, is fantastic. She provided bagels in the morning, wine in the evenings. Liz is conversational, helpful and lots of fun to be around. If you want some local knowledge Liz is your girl.
We 100% recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Santa Monica.
