Aina and her mother are lovely, lovely persons and we loved staying in her apartment. Its very close to the beach and to the 3rd street promenade, perfect location. The apartment is big, has lots of natural light and it is very safe as well. Kitchen has everything you need and there is also hair dryer and iron. The parking is also great, bed is confortable, we have nothing to complain about. My husband and I would love to come back, Santa Monica is really beautiful.
