We really enjoyed our stay in Santa Monica and Mena's place was the perfect home base for us as we explored the area. It was rainy the first two days of our stay and Mena kindly left umbrellas for us to use. Our 10 year old son enjoyed the boogie board she had available to use and said it was the most fun he'd ever had in the water. Arriving to a nice basket of snacks and bottles of filtered water were much appreciated after a long day of travel. Thank you Mena!
