Dawn’s place was amazing! Location is perfect, it’s walking distance to downtown Santa Monica and the beach. I felt totally safe walking around by myself. The natural sunlight that comes in the windows and all of the greenery outside is spectacular. Dawn’s place was clean and had everything I needed (I was so happy there was on-site laundry). The walls and floors are thin so I could hear noises from outside and in the alley as well as the neighbors occasionally and had to be extra considerate of my volume levels but not a a big drawback, I would definitely recommend booking Dawn’s place if you are a solo traveler!
