Julie was a lovely, warm and welcoming host. Her apartment is absolutely gorgeous and the garden and interior exactly as outlined in her photos. I loved staying a little bit back from the beach in Santa Monica so it was perfect for me - about a 3km walk to the beach.
The room is sweet and welcoming - lovely furnishings and lots of information about LA should you require it. I was in and out a lot and only stayed very briefly but I really enjoyed sharing a coffee with Julie and chatting about life and the US election when I did have a moment or two with her. Thoroughly recommend staying with Julie, such a beautiful spot and lovely person to welcome you on your trip to LA!
