Dara is an anomaly of sorts. When you meet her, you instantly feel welcome and that she cares about you and your stay. If you're lucky, she's around to give you the tour and you can tell by how much her eyes light up that she loves being a host and creating a space that makes you feel like you're at home. The house is located in a perfect spot where you can be at the beach, Abott Kinney, at a cool restaurant or in Santa Monica super fast. I've already committed to heading back in the spring / summer because it was so memorable. Thanks Dara! x
