I absolutely loved staying at Julie's stylish, bright and clean apartment which boasts a beautiful courtyard and a wonderfully convenient location in Santa Monica. Julie has been a truly exceptional host throughout. Warm, helpful and thoughtful, she went above and beyond to make my stay an unforgettable one. As a young woman learning to navigate my way in Los Angeles, I appreciated her friendly advice (always solicited!) and very much enjoyed our conversations. She is an amazing person, full of wisdom and spunk, and I can honestly say that I've learned a lot from our interactions. She was extremely generous with her time and energy with me - she took me to the local 4th of July parade and was even kind enough to read my magazine submission and give me some invaluable feedback, among others - and none of those things I took for granted. It was way more than I could have asked for. The room was very pleasant, the bed extremely comfortable and Julie's homemade breakfast, served daily, absolutely stole my heart. I'm an avocado convert! :) I wholeheartedly recommend staying here as I'm sure you'll have as great of an experience as I did. Thank you, Julie!
