I really didn’t use this place to what could have been it’s full effect. I just needed a bed for the night and I prefer a well kept and personal resting spot to a hotel. Jo was friendly and communicative. Her place was comfortable and spotless. I left off a star simply because I couldn’t assess its value as someone coming to Santa Monica for a stay. I popped in and popped out. I had more distant destinations in mind. But I suspect that someone needing a well kept bed to rest their head would feel happy to land here.
