Darlene's place is spotless and have everything (literally). The location is great, a morning run will take you to the beach and the neighborhood is cozy is quiet. Though it is only a studio, it is stylish, simple and elegant. I have really enjoyed my stay here. I also surprisingly found that Darlene had many things from Trader's Joe which were all my favorite. This makes the place even more like home.
P.S. try Darlene's muffin, they are YUMMY!! Wish I still have the opportunity to stay here next time I visit Santa Monica.
