Lauren was a great host and was very accomodating. She made sure I was able to get into the apartment easily and the apartment was well-stocked with everything I could need for my stay. She was quick to respond to communications and the property was exactly as described, in a perfect location that's just far enough away to not have crazy trouble, but close enough to be a stone's throw from the beach and one end of the Santa Monica beach-side biking path. A $5 uber will get you to all the best bars and restaurants in Santa Monica, for those evenings when you don't feel like walking.
