Liz was a fantastic host! I had a great time staying with Liz and the puppies at the Beachy Retreat. Her condo is in an ideal location - very walkable to multiple shopping areas and to the beach (I didn't have a car and didn't need one!) The bed is very comfortable and I like the beachy decor! Liz is an excellent host -- she is very friendly, has lots of great tips for good restaurants, shopping, celebrity sighting, and anything else you might need while in Santa Monica. Her focus is really on making sure you enjoy your trip! She's an extremely warm and welcoming person and it was great getting to know her while staying at her place!
