We spent a week in Santa Monica at Mel's condo and it was perfect. Loved this location in a residential area of Santa Monica walking distance from the cliffs hanging over the beach as well as any and all shopping and eating you could ever want. Mel was both communicative and attentive to any needs we had. Her condo is spacious and comfortable with tons of natural light and fresh breezes off the ocean. The kitchen was recently redone with new appliances which is perfect for those times you decide to cook meal at home for a change. We look forward to coming back sometime soon.
