Mena’s place is in a lovey safe residential neighborhood. Cheap uber ride from the beach and 3 rd street promenade. We loved exploring LA from Sta Monica. Sta Monica is my favorite part of LA. The best beach walk is a mile and a bit away from Mena’s place. Walkable. We did not meet Mena, but she was quick to rely to our requests. Thank you for sharing your home with us , Mena
