We had a great time at June's place in Santa Monica.
June was a great host. She made it super easy to find the place and come and go as we pleased. She was generous with local tips and recommendations for the neighbourhood and the wider city and offered generous hospitality while we were at the house (eg. letting us use the fridge and kitchen to make breakfast etc.). Our room and bathroom were cosy and clean; we felt right at home very quickly.
The place is really well located, maybe only 5-10 minutes walk to Main Street and the beach, and just a little more to Venice Beach, Abbot Kinney, and Santa Monica. It was easy and relatively affordable to get ride-shares to places further afield (eg. we visited the Getty Villa and downtown LA and a few other places - all very easy, even if you have to be prepared for a bit of LA traffic). We could have stayed longer and hope to come back again another time!
