My stay at Laurie's Santa Monica getaway was pretty perfect. I had to cut it short due to work obligations, but I would definitely stay there again. The room was clean, comfy, welcoming and had everything I needed. Laurie was especially patient and helpful with my questions, which were many because I was zonked after the 1st leg of my trip. It was a pleasant 15 minute walk to the beach, and the apartment was one block away from Montana Avenue, with many choices for dining and shopping. Thanks Laurie.
