I had a great time staying at Mary Ann's place. There's a super easy self check-in process and the room / bathroom are very spacious and clean. The location in Santa Monica is great, close to the beach and lots of restaurants / bars / coffee shops, and in a good area for bike shares and public transit (the train to downtown is within walking distance). Her place is also a great value for the area. I'd definitely recommend staying here to anyone wanting to enjoy all that Santa Monica / the westside of LA has to offer!
