Liz was very welcoming- she immediately responded whenever I contacted her, and was very prompt in returning texts. Her home is perfectly situated for anyone wanting to experience all of the best Santa Monica has to offer - close to the beach, transportation, restaurants, etc. Unlike some other properties, this is Liz's home so she is available for any assistance with just about anything. I was particularly pleased that she had parking available, as I had a car and parking can be tricky in Santa Monica. The house and room are super clean and cheerful. Liz's place is ideal for women who want to feel welcomed and safe while traveling, and her dogs are the best!
