Kelly was a fabulous host who was able to provide her local knowledge around Santa Monica. The bedroom was clean and tidy and large. I was able to use kitchen facilities and laundry. Bed comfortable. Bus at front door that took about 10 minutes to Santa Monica Boulevarde. I had a good laugh with Kelly when she was there. Kelly is not in your face and let's you do your own thing or we chatted generally about life, and there are always life experiences and travel to talk about. It's not on the beach but as I said its approx 10 minute bus ride to beach and great shopping. There are also some handy restaurants about 2 blocks walk away and a supermarket about 2 blocks away. Uber is cheap way to get around this area too.
Thank you for your hospitality Kelly. And hope to see you again one day.
