We stayed 2 nights at Donna's. We did not see her much but she made sure we had everything we needed for our stay.The price is good for the location and for Santa Monica, and it is nice to have its own bathroom.
The beach is a bit far away by foot (25mn) but the blue line bus stops near the place and is very handy to go everywhere in Santa Monica and Venice Beach.
Nice cafes and restaurants around.
Overall is was a good experience! Thanks Donna.
