Grace is a wonderful host, her place is perfect! We so very much enjoyed not only the space, but meeting and talking with her. The location is excellent - very close to Montana St (lots of great shops, eateries, and putatively some celebrity sightings - though we weren't looking and were probably oblivious). The Big Blue Bus stops right at a nearby corner which gets you all around Santa Monica and connects to the Metro for forays farther afield. It's only $1.25 (or $0.50 if over 62y!), and it's air conditioned for those hot summer days. It's a short ride to downtown SaMo and the beach.
The room and bath are exactly as shown/described. You will need to go up two short flights of stairs, but it's worth it! Grace was extremely welcoming and helpful in all ways. We highly recommend her place, and will return given the opportunity. Thanks, Grace!
