June was very understanding and welcoming (there was a miscommunication on my friend and my part). The room and everything was very accurate. What June offered for breakfast was accurate and it was a very good selection and extremely convenient. The place is about a 15 minute was to the beach and about a 20 minute walk to the metro that gets you into downtown L.A. (the ride is aboit 40 minutes but taking a metro is also a fun experience). Santa Monica itself is a place worth exploring and June has plenty of suggestions for food, i personally went thrift shopping and it was worth it. June was like a host mom on a study abroad trip, she wanted to know what I was up to and gave many suggestions, if it is your first time to LA and you enjiy talking to the host June is wonderful and has great tips/advice.
