We spent a month at Betsy's place. The living room and bedroom are even nicer than the photographs--airy, sunny, and comfortable. The location is truly ideal. Not only is the beach and the incredible walking and biking paths a few blocks away, but the entire neighborhood is walkable as well. We barely missed a sunset at the beach, which was beautiful.
We plan to be back in Santa Monica next winter. You will enjoy staying in this great apartment.
