We had a great week at Betsy’s apartment. It was just as described and super convenient to many attractions in Santa Monica. We could walk pretty much everywhere from there. She also had bikes to use if we wanted to venture further. The apartment was freshly painted, very nicely decorated, and the bed (new!) was super comfortable. It was also very quiet in the unit. Because we were there over Christmas, Betsy and Carlos decorated it and made it feel festive. Having a parking space was great too. We rented our car at Sixt at the Shore Hotel on Ocean and got great rates compared to those at LAX, plus we could walk to pick up and drop off the car easily. A great tip to avoid the shuttles and inconvenience of renting at the airport, plus an Uber ride is less that $20 to the airport. But back to the apy, we recommend it to anyone who would like a great place to stay in Santa Monica.
