Everything at Shelley's place was wonderful. When we arrived we were greeted promptly, shown to the private parking space next to the guest house, and were given a tour of the accommodations. Waiting for us inside was a lovely welcome basket of snacks that we enjoyed throughout the trip. Shelley also provided us with recommendations for activities and restaurants in the area which was perfect given that this was our first time visiting. The bedroom and bathroom were both in pristine condition. The area around Shelley's home appeared clean and safe, and we felt comfortable walking to downtown Santa Monica at any hour of the day. We were very impressed with the care that went into making our stay comfortable, and would highly recommend staying with Shelley next time you visit LA or Santa Monica.
