Alona was such an accommodating host and we loved our stay. The unit is located in the closest possible building to the Santa Monica pier, central and easy short walk to everything in downtown Santa Monica. Having free and secure parking was a huge bonus. Only thing to be aware of is that it's a bustling touristy and urban area, so expect noise at night and some homeless folk nearby. Alona was super communicative and even had flexibility about our check out time. She anticipated my unique needs to bake a dessert for Thanksgiving and provided muffin tins upon arrival, so I really appreciated the above and beyond hospitality!
