Linda is one of the friendliest person you will ever meet and her place is absolutely great. It's close to the ocean but far enough from the hustle & bustle of the beachfront. Linda has a complete listing of nearby places for all your needs. As for the place itself, it's exactly as advertised, really confortable and clean, with plenty of amenities not even mentioned in the listing. There is even a nice little, personal patio area that we used extensively. My only caveat about the place is if you're more than 6-foot tall, watch your head :). If (when?) we come back to Santa Monica, we will surely try to stay at Linda's again (if she'll have us :) ).
