Cherrie is very hospitable. We had a very good time staying there as it is very clean and super convenient. The apartment complex is new and very nice with a lot of amenities. Underground garage parking is very safe. It is very pleasant to walk around by the marina. Staying by the water is refreshing. The location is ideal when visiting LA, especially in the summer. LA's summer can be brutal. But, not in Santa Monica as it's cool. Leaving the window open over night the sea breeze keeps you in sound sleep. :)
