Monica reached out proactively to me the day before our arrival with instructions and was very quick to respond to all subsequent emails. She graciously left a key hidden for us to make our late evening arrival smooth. Convenient to the airport and Santa Monica parks, beaches, and the pier, this location in West LA is excellent. First floor apartment made it easy to travel with two small children and lots of luggage. The neighborhood was quiet, and we all slept very well - comfortable beds and lots of room to spread out! Monica was a great host.
