Nice, roomy, airy, clean, great one bedroom apt. The kitchen is just right. Caroline added personal touches with chocolate and flowers. The bikes are great for getting around. We did not rent a car. We were 2 blocks from great bus routes. Santa Monica has a new train system to LA and beyond. Bused along the Pacific Coast to and from LAX. The VB and SM piers are great. Surf, sunsets and drum circles. What a diverse life! There it all is, right around the corner.
