Diane's place is a great base of operations for visiting the Los Angeles area. It's in a great location in walking distance to downtown Santa Monica and public transportation but just far enough away to be quiet. We were able to get everywhere we wanted to go easily.
Diane has made sure everything you could want is available -- every time I wished something was there, I looked around for 30 seconds and there it was! She was very responsive when I communicated with her but I mostly didn't need to because we had no problems at all. Everything was sparkling clean and as described when we arrived.
Parking with the provided parking pass was no problem -- there was always room to park someplace on the block, which is a huge benefit in Santa Monica.
Thanks for a wonderful stay and I hope we can come back sometime!
