We had a short, but intense visit in L.A. and our stay at Karen’s place in Santa Monica was one of the key highlights of our trip. She was very kind, came up with loads of suggestions to go out, shop or make groceries. Both the bedroom and bathroom (for solely our use) was super clean and very well equipped to meet all our needs just like at home. We also got access to her cosy kitchen with some coffees for us to start the days. The famous SM/Venice beaches are only 8 mins drive away, being just perfect to head out for an early morning running. We are looking forward to return to Karen and highly recommend her place for a stylish Santa Monica stay (10/10).
