Betsy's apt is great - very spacious living room and bedroom w good sized closet. Great natural light and super comfortable furniture. In addition to the bedroom there is a pull-out couch and a daybed so plenty of space if you have a small family.
The location is unbeatable - smack in the best part of Santa Monica, you're 2 blocks from Main St, 4 blocks from the Promenade and 3 blocks from the beach (you can see it when you turn the corner - it was an amazing view to drive to when we arrived!).
Betsy was a v flexible and communicative host. My flight was incredibly delayed and it ruined her whole day but she was super cheerful when I checked in and helped me carry all my massive suitcases in without skipping a beat!
It's been a pleasure staying here for a month as we transitioned from living in Asia back to the US and getting acclimated to LA. If only I could afford staying in the apt permanently!
