Caroline is a fantastic host - she's super responsive and goes out of her way to help, before and during the trip. The apartment is cute. There is a stunning garden (shared with about 4 units but was very quiet during our stay). There is a good TV with Roku and a small grill (didn't work for a couple days but Caroline got it fixed fast). Shower is good, bed is super comfy ! It's well located, about 30 mins walk to the beach. The only real downside is any noise in the alleyway by the bedroom can be loud if you're a light sleeper or like to sleep in - there was loud music from a party until the early hours one night, and the rubbish trucks come very early and make a lot of noise ! Overall a nice place in Santa Monica and would definitely recommend
